Felix Manzanero 1965 Flamenco Guitar – A Masterpiece from One of Spain’s Finest Luthiers – Lightweight and Explosive!
This exceptional 1965 flamenco guitar by Felix Manzanero is a prime example of Madrid’s legendary guitar-making tradition. Manzanero, one of the most revered luthiers in Spain and all of Europe, apprenticed under José Ramirez II, refining his craft to become a master in his own right. After 12 years at the Ramirez workshop, he established his own shop in Madrid in 1963, where he built guitars sought after by world-class musicians.
A true innovator, Manzanero’s guitars have won prestigious awards, including First Place in Acoustics at the Concurso Internacional de Maestros Guitarreros in France. His instruments are celebrated for their exquisite craftsmanship, refined tonal balance, and expressive power, making them some of the most prized guitars in the world.
This 1965 flamenco guitar is one of the finest examples of Manzanero’s cypress blancas, delivering an explosive, crisp, and deeply resonant tone. It combines raspy grit with lyrical sweetness, making it an ideal instrument for the most demanding professional player. Whether playing powerful rasgueados or delicate falsetas, this guitar responds with incredible clarity, projection, and depth.
The guitar features a spruce top, cypress back and sides, a 655 mm scale length, and a 52 mm nut width. It has been well-loved and played extensively over the years and has undergone a top-tier professional restoration, ensuring that it is structurally sound and plays effortlessly while retaining its authentic vintage character. It plays very easy with a low action (2.8 mm E and 2.3 mm e at the 12th fret) and a straight neck.
An outstanding instrument for any serious flamenco guitarist or collector, this Felix Manzanero 1965 guitar stands alongside the finest historical blancas ever made. Rarely do guitars of this caliber become available—this is a true opportunity to own a piece of Spanish guitar-making history.
