The 1A Especial was the highest model of Manuel Contreras's guitars at that time, a model on which was built the world-renowned of the Madrid guitar maker.
You will find the typical sound of Madrid, deep bass, full and singing notes, a sound combining power and beautiful musicality.
This guitar has another characteristic that gives it a special value, it is indeed one of the guitars that can be admired (as the 10th Aniversario model) in the Orfeo 3 dedicated to Madrid luthiers !
