Luis Arostegui Granados 1978 – lightweight guitar with explosive and extremely lively sound quality!
Luis Arostegui Granados was born in Granada in 1932. He started as cabinet maker. Later on he started building guitars and studied with Manuel de la Chica. He also worked for some other guitar makers in Granada, before he settled in Madrid in 1960. There he opened his own shop and since then has been influenced by the Madrid school of builders. He more builds classical guitars than flamenco guitars.
This guitar from 1978 is truly an exceptionally well made instrument. The guitar immediately impresses with an incredible lightness. As a result, the sound is explosive and spontaneous. An incredibly lively guitar that is a lot of fun to play. It has great and distinctive basses. The basses are powerful without imposing too much and the treble sounds very lovely and brilliant. The guitar is transparent all the way to the upper registers and does not crowd out the brilliant, crystal clear highs – the guitar therefore maintains an unusually perfect balance, even amidst the fullness of the bass notes.
The top of this Luis Arostegui Granados 1978 is made of fine spruce, the back and sides of beautiful rosewood. The scale length is 655 mm and the nut width is 52 mm.
The guitar is in good condition with just a few signs of use.
This is a fantastic guitar at an incredible price!
