Felix Manzanero is a highly respected Madrid builder who’s style of building comes from his apprenticeship in the Ramirez shop. Not surprisingly they feel and sound very ‘Bernabe-like’ in many ways, pure Madrid Spanish character in other words. This guitar was build in 2007 and he Felix would retire 3 years later in 2010 turning things over to his son Ivan. The guitar is in mint, ‘from the shop’ condition. The bass side fustero tuner is not quite mounted flush with the back of the headstock, otherwise the guitar is just flawless and shiny new.
