CONTRERAS / Manuel II 1a Especial India IRW - CDR / 1997 / Guitar

Manuel Contreras began the study of guitar making while working in the Ramírez workshop in the late 1950s. However, with a desire to build his own instruments, he set out to start his own business. Always an innovator, Contreras began to create a number of unconventional instruments as well as the more traditional Spanish style guitar. His best-known innovation is the "double-top" design, which was developed in the early 1970s and continues to be in great demand today. The Contreras workshop is currently run by Manuel Contreras II, who continues to create guitars with the same quality, craftsmanship and innovation passed down to him by his father. This is the top of the line concert Contreras II guitar known as the 1a Especial, it was built in 1997. 1a stands for primera which means first class. It features stunning, highly figured Rosewood back and sides and perfectly quarter-sawn red western cedar. This guitar has a big bold sound that can fill any concert hall and has been used by many performing musicians in concert with an orchestra. Playability is excellent due to a shallow neck and excellent action. It has excellent clarity and great warmth typical of the best guitar makers from the Madrid school since the 1950s. Condition is excellent, very clean for it's age with minimal signs of use and playwear. Includes hardshell case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
