In the late 60’s, as Manuel Reyes was already very famous for his flamenco guitars. He built some Typo C guitars, which are not signed. The reason for this was apparently the demand of some musicians who did not have so much money to pay the usual price of a Reyes guitar.
This guitar was the working guitar of the professional guitarrist called Juan el Picha.
Manuel Reyes (1934-2014) is doubtlessly the most famous flamenco guitar maker in Spain at the time of his death. Manuel’s stature was such that Luis F. Leal Pinar devoted an entire chapter in “Guitarreros de Andalucia” (2004) to him.
Manuel made only about 20 guitars a year. His flamenco guitars were in such demand, and his waiting list was so long, that he stopped taking new orders more than 20 years ago.
Since his death, the demand for his guitar has only increased. It is a rare opportunity to get one of his guitars.
