I have owned this guitar for over twenty years and have not played it very much. I am offering this Model 144 in excellent condition for sale to allow someone to enjoy this guitar who will appreciate the sound and resonance of the cedar and rosewood construction.
A hard case and 2 sets of new strings are included.
This Joan Cashimira Model 144 is completely original, including the machine heads, bridge inlay and varnish.
Signed instruments such as this particular guitar indicate that it was hand made in the workshop.
From the internet:
This small Spanish family company is located near Alicante in Spain. These fine instruments are produced in the third generation of luthiers under the management of Antonio, whose name is Jose´ Antonio Casales Mirales. The brand JOAN CASHIMIRA is derived from Antonio's full name and his guitars are sold all over the world. His workshop staff includes his sister, his nephews, and employees who all have mastered the art of making guitars.
The Model 144 is an outstanding example of his work and features a cedar top that provides an expressive and voluminous sound. The Indian rosewood back and sides give the instrument additional depth and warmth. Thanks to its balanced sound characteristics, this guitar is suitable for both classical music and fingerstyle players.
The instrument provides a powerful, clearly defined sound that offers excellent projection and tonal nuance. With a nut width of 53 mm and a scale length of 655 mm, the guitar has a traditional playing style that is well suited to both beginners and experienced guitarists. The careful selection of tonewoods, the precise fretting and the fine workmanship underline the high quality of this model.
