[Profile]
Born in Madrid, Spain in 1931. Arcangel Fernandez became friends with Marcelo Barbero I, who was then considered to be the successor to Santos Hernandez, in 1954 and frequently visited Barbero's workshops to learn how to make guitar. Two years later, after Barbello I died at the young age of 52, he took over the workshop, and later, Barbello I's son Marcelo Barbello Hijo joined as a staff member and continued to work together.
The idea of design, selection of materials, and above all, refusal to compromise on timbre has reached an outstanding level. He retired from guitar making in 2011 and is now an increasingly rare brand.

[Description]
This guitar is from a period of great quality for a brand that, along with Manuel Reyes, is considered to be the top of flamenco guitars. It has an unusual lacquer finish, which gives it a clear, bright sound not found on other Arcangel guitars. There is a crack on the bottom of the sound board, but it has been properly repaired and is hardly noticeable from the outside. It is in good condition for a flamenco guitar that is over 30 years old, although it does have some scratches that are normal for its age.
