Comments |
Ignacio Fleta is widely regarded as one of the greatest luthiers of the 20th century, whose guitars have been favored by legendary players such as Andrés Segovia, John Williams, and Julian Bream.
The sound of this 1981 Ignacio Fleta is absolutely magical, powerful and rich with a deep body resonance that is almost cello-like.
Imagine a high end Ramirez with 650 mm scale. The sound is in the same direction BUT everything is sounding and feeling one or two levels up in quality, then you can imagine this stunning Fleta. Clarity and deep three dimentional sound that you do not find in any other guitar. This Fleta is unique for sure!
Video 1 is John Williams playing a similar guitar. Video 2 is Andrew York playing a similar guitar. Video 3 is me playing this particular 1981 Fleta, number 798. I did not use any sound editing. No reverb. No EQ |
