This 1987 concert flamenco guitar by Valeriano Bernal is representative of his best models. His flamenco guitars are particularly sought after by professionals, and have that edge that flamenco players love, and an endearing deep, dark tonality characteristic of guitars from Andalusia. This instrument is generallyin good condition. As might be expected, it has a few dings, a string burn behind the first string. There are a couple of cracks. One, about three inches long, runs along the upper edge of the fingerboard. We suspect it is just in the lacquer finish (because it definitely does not go through the top). The other runs back from the bridge, and is a little longer. It appears to be stable and does not move when you push on it, so it might not be in the wood. The owner describes this guitar as being one of the easiest guitars to play that he has ever touched, and should one want to lower the action, there is enough saddle to make an adjustment.
