Emilio Fernández 2015 Negra Flamenco Guitar – spectacular sounding guitar – a masterpiece evoking Conde’s golden era
This Emilio Fernández guitar is one of the most stunning instruments we’ve encountered recently, reminiscent of the iconic guitars from Faustino Conde’s golden age.
Emilio Fernández is a highly distinguished luthier who began his career in 1970 in the workshop of Faustino Conde. Despite his youth, his talent was immediately apparent, and he quickly became a builder of master-grade guitars for Conde Hermanos. Emilio remained with the Conde family even after Faustino’s passing, serving as workshop manager for Faustino’s widow until 2013.
In 2013, Emilio opened his own workshop in Madrid, where he now crafts exclusive, entirely handmade guitars of the highest quality. His impeccable craftsmanship and dedication to selecting premium materials have made his instruments truly exceptional.
This particular guitar features a spruce top with a straight, fine, and even grain that enhances both its aesthetics and tonal qualities. The back and sides are constructed from exquisite rosewood of the highest caliber. It boasts a 650 mm scale length and a 52 mm nut width, offering a perfect balance of tone and playability. The action is comfortably low at E 2.8 mm and e 2.2 mm at the 12th fret. The tuning pegs are exquisite fine-tuning pegs from Peghed, providing exceptional ease and precision in tuning your guitar.
