Esteve Deluxe Classical Guitars: In my semi-retirement I have discontinued importing these fine guitars. I have one left: the "Adalid" which has been in my private reserve collection (January 10, 2025).

I (Ron Fernandez) am the original importer of this guitar.

Call to 949-856-1537.


This vintage hand-built guitar (number 84, signed) was made in 1999. Price $5900.

Above: The Adalid, Number 84, 1999, from Fernandez Private reserve. This is a very fine concert model.

This guitar should not be confused with the recent Adalid models offered on the internet which sell for $3950.


 This guitar has:

    genuine hand-engraved Fustero tuners  (gold plated and hand engraved);

    OLD Dalbergia Spruceana back and sides NOT Cocobolo (which is too heavy) nor NEW Madagascar Rosewood;

    fine grain Western Red Cedar soundboard;

    voiced traditional all-wood bracing (no experimental carbon bracing);

    final French Polish, precision fret dressing and string action set-up by Ron Fernandez;

    this is a world class concert guitar in terms of projection, tone, sustain, balance, materials, and playability.



This is a unique example of the best from the Esteve/Adalid workshop; it was made while Manuel Adalid Senior was still alive and supervising the workshop. It was made from a very fine set of old wood.

This instrument has always been properly humidified (i.e., close to 50% relative humidity).

The late Manuel Adalid Senior was one of the founders of Guitarras Francisco Esteve. His son Manuel Adalid Junior has run the Esteve workshop for several decades.

This guitar was designed by Manuel Adalid Junior. This guitar is intended for a  professional guitarist. Esteve Guitars imported and distributed by Fernandez Music are inspected, detailed, and set-up for best playability personally by Ron Fernandez previously in California, now in Anacortes Washington.
