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 and John Williams. Ignacio Fleta died in Barcelona on August 11th, 1977. The workshop remained open, and great guitars continued to be produced by his sons Gabriel (b. 21 December 1929) and Francisco (b. 22 July 1925, now retired). To this day, a lengthy wait-list of 20 years is still tended by Gabriel’s son, Gabriel Jr. and so the Fleta legacy lives on, now in its third generation. The sound of this 1968 Ignacio Fleta is absolutely magical, powerful and rich with a deep body resonance that is almost cello-like. Video 1 is John Williams playing a similar guitar. Video 2 is this particular guitar. Former owner was Pieter van der Staak.
