Francisco Esteve Guitars Direct from Spain

We are continuing to receive shipments of the exceptionally fine Francisco Esteve guitars which are handmade in Alboraya, Spain, by a team of master luthiers under the direction of Manuel Adalid. We cannot say enough good things about these instruments which range in price from $650 to $4250. All models, whatever the price, are perfectly constructed in the best Spanish tradition. The woods are flawless and attractive and they are carefully finished with polyurethane, or a light durable coat of nitrocellulose lacquer, the best practical finish to protect the guitar without dampening its resonance. In short, these Esteve guitars are lovely to behold and a pleasure to hear. They continue to occupy a proud place in our stock. Our best-sellers.

I bought a 7 SM back in June and it gets better and better. It is both beautiful to look at and with a gorgeous sound that belies its affordabilty. The staff could not have been more patient or helpful. All in all a great buying experience and an excellent instrument.
