Hand-built in Seville, Spain in 2007 by legendary luthier Francisco Barba, one of the foremost names in modern flamenco guitar making. Barba’s instruments are prized for their explosive response, refined craftsmanship, and the unmistakable Andalusian character that defines the finest traditional flamenco guitars.

 

This 2007 Blanca is light, vibrant, and full of life — a guitar that responds instantly to the player’s touch. Its throaty, resonant voice gives the tone a vocal depth and expressive midrange presence, while maintaining the crisp brilliance and bite expected of a top-tier blanca. The sound is quick, dry, and percussive, yet carries warmth and dimension that bloom beneath the fingers.
