This instrument was built from the famous guitarbuilder Gerundino Fernandez from Almeria. He is one of the great legends from the second part of last century. In the 80`s he still built his instruments by himself. Due to his excessive lifestyle he was later not anymore able to build all his guitars by himself. There was a great demand to his guitars in the 70`s and 80`s. So some guitars have been built by other people. A lot of famous guitarists owned his guitars. Amongst them you find names like Paco Peña, Tomatito, Raimundo Amador, Pedro Bacan, Paco del Gastor and even the famous Eric Clapton owned a Gerundino. This guitar still belongs to the period where he built by himself.
You can find 1 small repaired crack on the top beside the Fingerboard. My guitabuilder checked it and put a small piece of wood inside. Now its absolutely safe. Another two cracks you will find on the back. Both glued and safed from the inside.
The top is an amazing bear claw spruce. At the backside of the neck you find the typical Gerundino stamp
But now the most importand point. The sound. This guitar demonstrates why so many famous guitars got so crazy with Gerundinos. She is archaic, big and resonant. With good balanced trebles.
Impressive Sound with all you need. A piece of history with high value for user.
