For my Flamenco guitars Stephen Marchione use his original design based on historic models that he feel are successful, utilizing standard dimensions that musicians are comfortable with and know intuitively.

His study of the great Spanish instruments has given me tremendous respect and admiration for the Domingo Esteso/ Conde’ Hermanos lineage as well as the Miguel Rodriquez family. He’s owned Estesos and many Conde’s, and he’s learned a great deal from them. The Flamenco guitar combines the ease of playability, tone, and ergonomics of a Conde with gorgeous craftsmanship, powerful projection and beauty of the Rodriguez guitars of the 1970s.

Flamenco Guitar is constructed in the traditional Spanish method, in a Solera, face down, And as with all of my guitars, He only use Hot Hide Glue in construction and he Hand Plane all surfaces prior to glue-up. Whether you’re accompanying dancers at a Juerga, playing solo in concert or just jamming with friends, Flamenco guitars give you a rich and broad palette to draw from. Many of his clients use this model in the recording studio for a variety of musical styles.
