Esteve 5F Flamenco Classical Guitar
ESTEVE-5FA WORLD OF TRADITION
Since our foundation in 1957, the quality and attention to detail have been our reason for being, which together with the incorporation of new technologies and the work of our craftsmen have made ESTEVE guitars an internationally renowned company.
Located south of Europe along the Mediterranean Sea, Valencia Spain is home to the prestigious ESTEVE craft workshop. In 1957 Francisco Esteve, Manuel Antonio and Monfort Adalid decided to create a guitar workshop and begin their journey in the construction of musical instruments. ESTEVE guitars are known and appreciated throughout the world for their tone and excellent finish, by the high quality materials used and for that rare combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques used in the construction process. The result is a Spanish guitar with soul that gives inspiration to players around the world.
The 5F Flamenco is Esteve's affordable entry point into flamenco guitar. Setup & sound favor a quick rasgueado and single note lines. A good entry-level flamenco is strangely hard to accomplish for any maker, but Esteve has a great guitar on their hands here...well, on our hands now, and possibly in your hands soon.
