DOMINGO ESTESO / Gravina 7 Cypress-Spruce / 1933 / Natural / Guitar

1933 Domingo Esteso Flamenco, Gravina 7, Cypress-Spruce, Original Case, VG/EC

1933 Domingo Esteso. Domingo Esteso guitars are considered monumental and historical, some of them are shown in the great Museums around the world telling the most important part of the history of the flamenco guitar. Domingo Esteso is considered the cornerstone of Flamenco Guitar history. Despite being a modest guitar, this guitar tells a great history, and it's impressive sounding Flamenco character underlines its importance, combining a punchy attack to sweet warmth and passionate dynamics that only come from eighty years matured excellence. Its current condition is remarkably good, the playability is excellent and it plays with with great ease. Holding this guitar for the first time, and noticing the impressive low weight of no more than 1.05kg (2.2Lbs) is a great experience. On the first stroke you immediately feel, hear and understand a great Flamenco Guitar maker had its hand in making this guitar.The Spanish luthier Domingo Esteso Lopez was one of the great guitar-makers of the early part of the 20th century that apprenticed with Manuel Ramirez. After Manuel Ramirez died, he opened his own shop on the calle Gravina, where he was joined by his 13 year old nephew Faustino Conde in 1926, as did Mariano Conde in 1929. After his death in 1937, Faustino and his two brothers, Mariano and Julio Conde continued working under the label Vda y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso. This historical 1933 Flamenco guitar shows a typicality were the early Conde Flamenco guitars were known for, being the 3 piece Cypress back. The guitar is in very good to excellent condition. There is some wear to the original varnish finish, showing evidence of 80 years of playing, two almost invisible top cracks are expertly repaired long ago. Back and sides are crack free, The guitar shows original finish and frets, original tuners are in excellent working condition. It features a spruce top, Cypress back and sides, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, that measures 50.5mm width at the nut, 650mm scale length. A nice detail to the history of the guitar is that it comes with full history from the moment it was bought back in 1933 in Domingo Esteso's workshop by the first owner mr. Van Dijk. This guitar has the soul, dynamics and personality only found in the greatest matured Flamenco guitars. The guitar is stamped/signed and dated on the upper-heel. It is very hard to decode this vague stamp/signature (bottom picture) as it's faded over the years. This wonderful and likely unique guitar would be a great addition for any player and/or collector. It still with the original case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
