Description
Manuel Ordonez 2006 – great sounding flamenco guitar – rare and highly sought after!
Manuel Ordonez is renowned as one of the finest instrument restorers in the world. Over his illustrious career, he has meticulously restored hundreds of instruments of significant historical and musical value. His deep expertise and understanding of guitar craftsmanship naturally led him to build his own instruments, each one crafted by hand with extraordinary attention to detail. Due to this meticulous process, his production is very limited, making his guitars both rare and highly coveted.
Manuel Ordonez has earned a loyal following of admirers and professionals who deeply appreciate his work. Flamenco virtuoso Vicente Amigo, for instance, plays one of Ordonez’s guitars and entrusts him with the maintenance of his entire collection. Owning a guitar by Manuel Ordonez is an exceptional opportunity to experience the artistry and passion behind his craft.
This remarkable 2006 flamenco guitar exemplifies Ordonez’s brilliance. The top is made from fine spruce, while the back and sides are crafted from premium cypress wood. It has a 650 mm scale length and a 52 mm nut width, making it a classic flamenco build.
The tone is extraordinary—full-bodied, balanced, and brimming with character. Its powerful voice combines punchy, dynamic lows with vibrant, lyrical trebles. The sound carries the unmistakable edge and fire of authentic Andalusian flamenco, with rasgueados that are explosive and vibrant. It has a remarkable range: sweet and melodic when played delicately but capable of an aggressive bite when pushed.
In terms of playability, this guitar is a dream. The sleek, low-action (at the 12. fret 2.8 mm E and 2.3 mm) allows for effortless playing while retaining just the right amount of “sizzle” that gives it its unmistakable flamenco authenticity. Whether you’re performing on stage or recording in a studio, this is a top-tier instrument built for the professional flamenco guitarist.
This Manuel Ordonez 2006 flamenco guitar is in good and original condition. It has one repair to the back and some amount of wear from play and use. It comes with a new guitar case. This is an extraordinary concert-level instrument, it is both a collector’s treasure and a flamenco guitarist’s dream.
