Up for bid is a gorgeous 1995 guitar by Sergio Abreu, member of the remarkable guitar duo from Brazil. This instrument has an excellent balance, a very strong response, and great ease of playing.  Sound is big, warm, rich and responsive. This guitar was inspected by one of the top Classical Guitar luthiers in the US, Richard Brune, who commented:

“This is one of the best Abreu I have ever seen; it will be very hard for anyone to find a guitar as impressive as this one in this price range.” Back & sides: Indian Rosewood, Top: Spruce, Scale 650. Condition: very good.  I am the first and only owner; finger nail marks are few (I have protected the top with the “Cling-On” since I bought it); also unnoticeable is a dark discoloration on the perimeter of the top right where the right arm rests when playing (I have been performing for the past ten years on this guitar.) If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at info@concertguitarist.com.  Thanks, Carlos de la Barrera, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
