[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]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of a 1992 Flamenco Blanca made by Arcángel Fernández. When we talk about the flamenco models of this maker, we naturally recall the history that leads back to Santos Hernandez, Marcelo Barbero I, and himself.
The guitars created by these three geniuses have achieved the essence of the Spanish guitar in their stoic grace, power, variation, and depth of expression, and Alcángel has done immeasurably well to carry them on into the 21st century. This work is likewise the pinnacle of the genre, a flamenco guitar that is uniquely Alcángel Fernández.
The sound is clear, which leads to a dignified overall expression. The massive sound of the chords is especially wonderful due to the power and clarity of each note. The balance from the bass to the treble, the high responsiveness and the change of expression, etc., are all pursued to an even higher level of perfection. This is one of his most outstanding flamenco models.
The surface is original urethane, but the soundboard and golpe have been partially touched up. The guitar has been played a lot, so the sound board has some scratches and there is one string strike on the lower bridge. There is a fingernail scratch on the back of the neck.
