Description
Lester Devoe is an American luthier from the central coast of California. He began studying classical guitar, and later flamenco, in the early 1970s and quickly got interest in guitar making. He is building guitars since 1975 and was greatly inspired by his guitar teacher’s 1924 Santos Hernandez. Starting with this aesthetic, he gradually developed his own ideas and style. His guitars have been played worldwide by generations of flamenco and classical players. From them one can name Sabicas, Paco de Lucia, Vicente Amigo, Grisha Goryachev, Pavel Steidl and many more.
This fine flamenco guitar was built by Lester Devoe in 2014. It is a gorgeous instrument with a fine handmade rosette, high-class Alessi tuners and a bear-clawed spruce. It has a beautiful tone and the stroke is very typical of Devoe’s guitars. The sustain is impressive and this guitar is a truly singing instrument. It is in perfect condition and ready to be played and recorded.
