I bought this guitar in Barcelona in 1969 from the Juan Estruch studio shop. I hoped to learn to play, but alas hope never gets you there... practice is what does it and I had spurts of that without the reward. I did learn one short Bach piece and was quite surprised by doing so. Nevertheless, it has sat in the original case and on occasion been strummed by a pro or two who remarked on the quality of the sound. The guitar needs some TLC to be perfect, but at 56 years of age who is, and can be played as is. See what Willie Nelson does with a guitar in less than perfect condition. Offers considered. I'm in Richmond NH.
