Brand: Cervantes
Instrument Categories: Classical and Flamenco, Guitars, SOLD
The Cervantes Master Signature Model is close to top of the line for Cervantes guitars and here features a lattice-braced Spruce top with Indian Rosewood for the sides, back and head plate. This is an excellent, concert quality instrument built using Spanish style construction with the sides integrated into the heel. These guitars are built in San Diego, California.
This example is signed by Alejandro C Cervantes and hand-dated to “Nov 08” at the top of the label, and was originally sold by The Twelfth Fret in 2009. It is built with a lattice-braced Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood for the sides, back, bridge and head plate, Spanish Cedar (Cedrela odorata, which is not a true Cedar) for the solid linings, body blocks and neck with Ebony for the fingerboard. The nut and compensated saddle are Bone – the case contains a pair of extra saddles – and the very good tuners are Rodgers style made by Gotoh. The finish is a clear lacquer, gloss everywhere except for a satin treatment on the bridge. The bridge has 12 holes, which is a definite upgrade allowing for better down bearing on the saddle and more secure re-stringing. The upper bass side has a sound port, providing the player a much improved representation of what the audience is hearing.
The guitar is in overall very good, clean condition with a few small marks behind the bridge from re-stringing.
Here is the builder on the Cervantes Master Signature Model:
“The signature Master is one of my best models: For the player that seeks a powerful instrument and yet an elegant well defined rich tone, a true professional instrument. Lattice braced thin top. Sound port standard equipped with Rodgers copy Gotoh tuners.”
This Cervantes Master Signature is sold with a Protege Humidicase, which contains a small humidifier element in the case top.
