Used Shelton-Farretta Flamenco Guitar w/case

Shelton-Farretta guitars are highly respected, small-batch instruments built by the husband-and-wife luthier team of John Shelton and Susan Farretta. Based in the Pacific Northwest (originally operating out of Portland, Oregon, before relocating to Alsea in 2005), the duo has been handcrafting flamenco and classical guitars since the mid-to-late 1960s

This is from their Portland OR era. Serial number 1475. Most likely from the 1970's

Because they build as a true two-person team without standard formulas—shaping dimensions based entirely on the specific properties of the wood—their production has always been incredibly limited.

Unlike some experimental nylon-string guitars that end up sounding crossing over into classical territory, players note that Shelton-Farretta flamencos maintain a distinct, authentic flamenco growl.

• They are highly percussive, remarkably dry, and incredibly quick to respond.
• The immense volume and projection provided by the double-body design give the player a massive amount of dynamic headroom, often described by flamenco players as feeling "amplified" or like trying to "tame a wild horse,"

this came from a large collection and is being sold as is. Price reflective of its condition.

nothing seems structurally wrong but it would be good for someone looking to give it some extra TLC.
