About the luthier
Ignacio Fleta (1897-1977) is one of the most famous luthiers of the twentieth century. In addition to being a successful guitar maker, he was a recognized bowed and ancient instruments luthier (violins, violas, cellos, vihuelas, and violas de gamba). After his death, his work was continued by his two sons Gabriel and Francisco Fleta and later by his grandson Gabriel Fleta Jr. The current waiting time for a new guitar is about 20 years. Fleta follow a different concept than other Spanish luthiers from, for example, Andalusia. Their guitars are characterized among other things by a 9-fan-bracing instead of 5 or 7-fan bracing.
About the guitar
Built in 1986, this impressive instrument is a shining example of the aesthetic refinement and sonic excellence that define the legacy of Ignacio Fleta, one of the most influential luthiers of the 20th century.
The guitar features a beautifully selected set of straight-grained Indian rosewood for the back and sides, paired with a top-quality red cedar soundboard. These materials not only reflect Fleta’s uncompromising standards but also contribute to the guitar’s deep, resonant voice.
What truly sets this instrument apart is its powerful, spontaneous sound—a characteristic feature of Fleta guitars. The volume is outstanding, and this particular example delivers a tone that is both warm and lyrical, with remarkable sustain and perfectly balanced registers.
Its exceptional playability allows the guitarist to explore a wide expressive range, making it a powerful tool for both interpretation and creativity.
Ignacio Fleta’s guitars have shaped an entire musical era, having been favored by legends such as Andrés Segovia and John Williams. This instrument offers a compelling reminder of why Fleta’s work is held in such high esteem.
Condition
As a pre-loved instrument, the guitar remains in very good overall condition, with only minor cosmetic signs of use, and no structural issues. A rare opportunity to own a guitar from one of the true masters of the craft.

Classical Guitar
The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.Look all products of the collection -
