A fine and beautifully presented Spanish classical guitar, handcrafted by the respected Málaga based luthier José Salinas, dated 2019 and individually numbered 25, bearing the maker's handwritten signature to the original internal label. An impressive example of contemporary Spanish guitar making, displaying the elegance, craftsmanship and attention to detail associated with the country's celebrated tradition of classical guitar construction. The instrument features a beautifully figured Amazon rosewood back and sides, exhibiting striking natural grain patterns and rich, warm colouring beneath a highly polished finish. The contrasting Canadian cedar soundboard provides an elegant golden appearance, complemented by an intricately decorated soundhole rosette, dark fingerboard and traditionally styled slotted headstock with geared tuning machines. The combination of Amazon rosewood and Canadian cedar is particularly appealing, bringing together two highly regarded tonewoods traditionally associated with the warmth, richness and tonal character sought after in quality classical guitars. José Salinas is an established Spanish guitar maker whose individually handcrafted instruments reflect the enduring traditions of Spanish luthiery, combining classical design with an emphasis on craftsmanship, carefully selected materials and musical expression. Of particular interest is the guitar's individual numbering, original signed maker's label and confirmed provenance, with the vendor having personally contacted José Salinas, who has verified the instrument's authenticity and confirmed the use of Amazon rosewood for the back and sides and Canadian cedar for the soundboard. A handsome and distinctive instrument, offering an opportunity to acquire a signed example of modern Spanish guitar craftsmanship, with considerable appeal to classical guitar enthusiasts, musicians and collectors alike.
