{"product_id":"1976-ignacio-fleta-cedar-indian-rosewood","title":"1976 Ignacio Fleta cedar\/indian rosewood","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"399\" data-end=\"768\"\u003eIgnacio Fleta is one of the most legendary names in classical guitar making. Based in Barcelona, Fleta helped redefine the voice of the modern concert guitar. Alongside Torres and Hauser I, he stands as one of the most influential luthiers in history, further elevated by his deep association with John Williams, who famously played Fleta guitars throughout his early career, along with countless others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"770\" data-end=\"1157\"\u003eThis example from 1976 comes from what many consider the golden period of Fleta’s output, particularly the 1960s and 70s. Guitars from this era are increasingly rare on the market, especially in this level of condition. Known for their immense power, warmth, and lyrical top end, Fleta’s instruments offer a distinctly bold take on traditional Spanish luthiery. This one is no exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1159\" data-end=\"1230\"\u003eFrom the very first note, it’s clear: this is a world-class instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1232\" data-end=\"1235\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1246\"\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1248\" data-end=\"1686\"\u003eThis guitar has everything that defines Fleta’s unmistakable voice. The power is immediate, and the body practically resonates in your arms. The first string is simply magical: lyrical, vibrant, and expressive in all registers. The overall character is bold yet sensitive, capable of tremendous nuance and projection. It moves seamlessly between a rich, full-bodied warmth and a crystalline brilliance depending on touch and articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1688\" data-end=\"1919\"\u003eThis is one of those rare instruments that responds just as well to aggressive playing as it does to delicate phrasing. It’s dynamic, responsive, and inspiring to play—an expressive tool for serious performers and collectors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1921\" data-end=\"1924\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1926\" data-end=\"1942\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1944\" data-end=\"2285\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1944\" data-end=\"1962\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"1962\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"1954\"\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cedar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"2000\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1965\" data-end=\"2000\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1965\" data-end=\"1982\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2001\" data-end=\"2028\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2028\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2020\"\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 650mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2029\" data-end=\"2052\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2031\" data-end=\"2052\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2031\" data-end=\"2045\"\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2053\" data-end=\"2095\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2055\" data-end=\"2095\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2055\" data-end=\"2067\"\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2096\" data-end=\"2202\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2098\" data-end=\"2202\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2098\" data-end=\"2112\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent.
