1965 Jose Oribe SP/CSAR

Jose Oribe began making guitars in 1962, who along with Manuel Velazquez, makes him one of North America's veteran builders of the past half century. Oribe is famous for his fine materials as a quick glance at this instrument will attest. This instrument is built in a style that is often compared to the finest Madrid-style instruments (Ramirez, Contreras, Bernabe, etc.) in its tonal and structural characteristics. It has a big, deep and rich tone with great volume, making this a particularly strong instrument for live performance. Condition is excellent for an instrument of this vintage - not only is the guitar crack and repair-free, but it has only very minor signs of wear showing that it has been well cared for its entire life.
