Candelas classical.
Just picked up an old battered guitar from the Salvation Army, polished it up and put some strings on it. I,m not much of a guitarist but its got a beautiful sound.It says inside handmade by Delgado Bros. Anyone know anything about those guitars, and did I get a bargain at $275.

Sure got a bargain, but its just nice to know I,ve got a good guitar with a lovely soft sound so the wife can't complain too much when I practice. It cleaned up nicely and I think I got it so cheap cos it had no strings on it. I will take a picture and try to post it later. thanks for your help.

e-mailed Manuel Delgado with pics of guitar and got this reply,
'Danny, you got a rare find. This is a model my grandfatherof a dreadnaught body,clasical. Since it doesn't have his name on the inside, it was probably built by him and his staff. The instruments that he made from start to finish slways had his name inside. I didn't see the back and sides,but I assume it's rosewood?
By the way,the body style is much like one of five guitars we made for Jose Feliciano.
Hope this helps,Manuel.
