This high-quality flamenco guitar was built in 1985 by Pedro Martinez Penalver. He is a guitar maker from Baza, a town in the province of Granada. In 1962, Pedro Martinez Penalver began his apprenticeship with Alfonso Checa (1914-1977), who is considered one of the leading guitar makers in Granada. After Checa's death, Pedro took over his workshop. Pedro Martinez Penalver's guitars have a duende that professional flamenco players seek and love.
This guitar is a prime example of the guitar maker's art with its outstanding workmanship and unique sound. As is typical for his instruments, this guitar is made from first-class woods. The top is made from the best German spruce, while the back and sides are made from high-quality cypress. The scale length is 658 mm and the nut width is 52 mm.
This guitar is incredibly responsive, with strong projection and a completely round sound. It plays with great ease and sings. This great guitar also has a good bite and the typical flamenco growl, with nice punch in the bass and mids.
It has a small repair to the ceiling, but is otherwise in good condition.
