Contreras
Classical
Guitar
Up for consideration is a Contreras professional classical guitar.
This guitar is hand-made in 1983 by the late Manual Contreras I, who was a prominent builder in the Ramirez shop before setting up his own shop in 1962. The guitar is a professional hand-made model, but without the Contreras signature, which at that time designated it as the 2a model. It has the advantage of having the 650mm scale length, as many of the 1a guitars had the longer, more difficult 664 scale length. Today, the new Contreras 2a guitars are selling for around $7,000, so here is a great opportunity to pick up a nice original guitar hand-made by Contreras I, and save about $4,000!!!
