This new Reyes is handmade and French polished by Lazarides in his Manuel Reyes mould with gorgeous premium old aged quality tonewoods, she has all the qualities of traditional gypsy flamenco guitars, incredibly lively with a fast attack, sweet, beautiful and lyrical, a great bark when pushed and an true flamenco timbre that sublimely combines power and volume with quality and a perfect pitch. She is the kind of flamenco guitar that could be played in literally any flamenco setting, solo, with singer, with dancers, a fantastic instrument and well priced for any guitarist seeking the sound of a great Southern Spanish styled flamenco…truly impressive.
The woods selected for this flamenco guitar are marvellous. The 1st grade German spruce top has a perfectly even and straight grain with plenty of the essential cross silk patterns. The back and sides are made of old aged gorgeous exotic ebony. Its unique colours, attractive grain designs, elegant rosette and purflings will give it an extraordinary beauty.
Constructed by luthier Vassilis Lazarides in his Manuel Reyes mould. By taking up the maintenance, functional repair and restorations of many Manuel Reyes flamenco guitars, Lazarides had the opportunity to analyse, from within, how these Reyes flamenco guitars are constructed. Next Lazarides decided to make a new mould enabling him to construct true Reyes flamenco guitars down to the smallest detail.
