Ricardo Sanchis Carpio 1976 flamenco guitar – a true warrior of a guitar with an absolutely amazing sound!
The Spanish guitar maker Ricardo Sanchis Carpio is the head luthier of the Hermanos Sanchis Lopez firm in Valencia that was founded by his grandfather, Ricardo Sanchis Nacher in 1915.
The founder having worked for guitar makers in Valencia for sometime, went to Madrid where he was befriended by Manuel Ramirez and Domingo Esteso. To perfect his craft, he remained in Madrid working for Domingo Esteso on Sundays for three years. As a result, the Sanchis family has had close relationships with Esteso, and with his heirs, the Hermanos Conde, ever since.
This guitar is from 1976. It has a spruce top and cypress back and sides. The scale length is 665 mm and the nut width 54 mm.
It is incredibly responsive, with strong projection, and wholly rounded sound. It plays with great ease and sings. This great guitar has also a good bite and growl, with beautiful punsh in the bass and mid ranges. We fell in love with her instantly.
Don’t let the long scale length scare you – the guitar plays very well and exactly this long scale length provides incredible dynamics and an enormous sound volume.
We were absolutely surprised about the very good sound quality this guitar has. Very lightly built, this guitar unfolds an enormous volume and a crisp flamenco sound.
The mature vintage nuance completes the excellent sound and fascinates both the player and the listener.
The guitar plays like a dream, with a low action and a straight neck.
It falls into our special category: Players dream and collectors nightmare. It shows a huge amount of wear from play and use all around and has also received some repairs. You will definitely not win the beauty contest with this guitar. On the other hand it plays extremly good.
It comes with a gigbag.
