This guitar is very well taken care of since it was built in 1994. Recently the fretas are renewed by the Kresse workshop ( Annette Stephany ) in Cologne. Some piant touch ups is doen.
The top has some minor craquele, nearly visible and uncritical regarding to the experts.
The sound is unbelieveable. The wamth, the beauty of the tone is hard to find these days. Who looks for the sound of Bream and Williams, should listen to this guitar.
Pepe Romero rates Manuel Contreras as one of the best builders ever!
