Überblick
Ignacio Fleta was a legendary luthier of the 20th century, known for his expertise in crafting not only exquisite guitars but also bowed and ancient instruments such as violins, violas, cellos, vihuelas, and violas de gamba. His legacy continues to live on through his descendants, including his two sons, Gabriel and Francisco Fleta, and later, his grandson Gabriel Fleta Jr. To this day, the waiting time for a new Fleta guitar is estimated to be around 20 years.
This 1958 Ignacio Fleta guitar, numbered 118, is a remarkable piece from one of the most celebrated periods of Fleta’s career. With a spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, it boasts a rich, complex, and powerful sound that has earned it a reputation as the ultimate choice among a generation of guitarists. Its pure tone, balanced registers, and charismatic voice have captivated musicians and audiences.

Pappalardo also changed the finish to a nitro varnish, a common practice in France for a more durable finish.

A poem about Ignacio Fleta and guitar No. 118
The Fleta legacy lives on,
A legendary luthier gone.
Expert in crafting with his hand,
Guitars, violins, and instruments grand.
The waiting time, a daunting twenty years,
For a new Fleta guitar, with many cheers.
The 1958 Ignacio Fleta, number 118,
A remarkable piece, with a captivating voice that begins.
Spruce top and Indian rosewood,
A rich and powerful sound, it has imbued.
A reputation as the ultimate choice,
For a generation of guitarists, with a singular voice.
With five repaired cracks on the soundboard,
And two on the back, restored.

A captivating concert instrument,
And a prized collector's item, with a tonal present.

A masterpiece, that will thrill.

A complexity that brings out the best, musical.
Balanced registers, a harmonious blend,
Warmth and brightness, that won't end.

A charming voice, that's positive.

A gentle sweetness that's confined.
A marvel of warmth, clarity, and complexity,
One of the finest instruments, with a unique sound, exquisite beauty.

Klassische Gitarre
Die klassische Gitarre mit ihren weichen Nylonsaiten und ihrem charakteristischen Timbre ist zum Symbol der Kammermusik, der spanischen Tradition und des Konzertrepertoires geworden. Ihre moderne Form prägte Antonio de Torres im 19. Jahrhundert, indem er den Standard für Korpus, Fächerbeleistung und die 65-Zentimeter-Mensur setzte, die bis heute verwendet werden. Instrumente dieser Kategorie eröffnen eine reiche Palette von den feinen romantischen Miniaturen Tárregas bis zu den majestätischen Konzerten Rodrigos. Hier finden Sie Gitarren, die historische Kontinuität bewahren und zugleich zu neuen Interpretationen anregen.Alle Produkte der Kollektion ansehen -
