Cypress flamenco

In the Spanish tradition of guitar-making of the 20th century (at least) flamenco and classical guitars are made in similar way and whenever the orders come.  They are often very different but the case of Manuel Reyes is not the most common where a maker is known only for one style.  I make more classicals, as most makers do, but I really enjoy making a nice flamenco and have one on the go right now.P1030529  Cypress makes a light, incredibly responsive flamenco with just the right amount of snap and dryness.  This one will have pegs and I will be putting Pegheds (TM) on it.  By the way Pegheds are now available in Spain, from the distributor of Hiscox cases here, Delta Music.

P1030527I really like this light-coloured rosewood for flamenco bridges, very light weight too.
