Flamenco Blanca Paradise (Primavera) B&S (Spring wood, Primavera wood or  Paradise wood) 640mm, 20" radiused Ebony finferboard, Hauser bracing, Alpine Spruce top, armrest. Luxury precision tuners. Case included As seen above, USD 2,348 DHL Shipping: USA 184 USD, Europe 223 USD, Asia 278 USD Primavera wood, also known as Paraiso (Paradise wood) is found in most of Latin America.  Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, North and central Honduras. It is amazingly beautiful and I find it ideal for medium-light guitar construction. The texture of the grain resembles the fur on a Polar bear. The wood performs much better than Cypress when  comes to the Flamenco sound but the great side to this wood is that it performs fantastically well in Classical music as well making it my top choice for Flamenco/Classical Construction. I used Barbero Flamenco guitar plans to build her and incorporated all my construction enhancements like the radiused fingerboard and the armrest. The common name Paraiso (Paradise) comes from the Jesuits who would use it to make sacred objects in the early 1600. This amazing guitar was finished during the 2010 Holy week. That is the reason I Baptized her "Trinity" and that is the reason for the 3 Paradise wood dots on the Ebony armrest: Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  The sound is unbelievable. It has the freshness and crispiness you'd expect from a Flamenco guitar but at the same time, she has a Huge bass that sets her apart in a class all of her own. The poetic strength on her voice is also striking. I played Albéniz Asturias and I am stunned at the immediate response of this Jewel ! Listen how the bass line is lively and crisp, The trebles accompany without ever interfering and the phrasing of the bass can be tailored to the my liking at lightning speed. She's simply Fabulous !  The number of details that you will make your eyes rest on while gazing at this beauty are infinite. The playability is amazingly swift. Still it can be  A LOT easier. Being a  Flamenca, the action can be lowered an extra 2 mm. On request, I can send her with an extra saddle for flamenco playing.        Paradise Flamenco guitar . As seen above, USD 2,348 DHL Shipping: USA 184 USD, Europe 223 USD, Asia 278 USD   Radiused or flat fingerboard? The radiused fingerboard has been around the acoustic and the electric guitar since day one. The same is true for most instruments of the Stringed family of instruments (violas, violins cellos, bass). Radiusing (image above) makes barre and left hand stopping A LOT easier. The only drawback is that you will NEVER want to play a  flat fingerboard after that. If you are having your custom guitar built, I am all pro radiusing the fingerboard.  The standard fingerboard is flat. Primvera wood tree in flower 640mm or 650 mm? Italian Alpine Spruce is the highest growing tree on the planet. It grows at or above 1,800 meters where the oxygen is rarefied. This makes the grain much tighter resulting in a strong reverberating tone wood. This is the species Stradivarius used for his legendary violins.

Optional

PROTECTIVE GEAR These attractive hand sawn velvet guitar covers are very useful if you like to leave your instrument out of the case for long stretches of time. They are a great solution to avoid scratches during practice from the friction of buttons with the finish. To use it while playing, use it in the position shown to the right. These are hand sawn by the wife of my Leather cases embosser.

OPTIONAL ADJUSTABLE SADDLE BONE  When ordering a guitar, every player will ask me to set the action as low as possible without any buzzes... Since every player applies different amount of strenght when plucking the strings it is impossible to set the action precisely to each player's will. The Spanish builder Fleta, had come up with this genial idea which consists of pushing the bone more or less into the groove on the bridge. The player would set the action to his liking and then either cut off the excess or keep it intact in case he decided to lower or raise the action depending on humidity conditions etc. On request, I can prepare a Fleta saddle bone for an extra 80 US$.
