[Profile]
Manuel Velazquez was born in Puerto Rico in 1917 and his maternal grandparents are Spanish. He began his apprenticeship as a furniture maker and at the same time began to build guitars. He built his first guitar at the age of 16. A local musician, impressed by the quality of the guitars he was building at the time, encouraged him to go to New York and he moved there in 1941.
He began to be widely known in the late 1940s and quickly gained fame after Andres Segovia praised his guitars. He returned to Puerto Rico in 1972, but settled in the United States again in 1982. It was at this time that his son, Alfredo, also began to join in the production, and he took over the workshop after Manuel's death in 2014.
At the root of Manuel's guitar making is his admiration for traditional guitars, and his works from the 1950s and 60s, which were heavily influenced by Hauser, have been highly acclaimed.
His works from the 1970s to the 1980s had larger bodies and were more powerful and louder. After that, he reverted to the traditional style based on the original Hauser style. He is regarded as one of the greatest American guitar makers.
[Description]
Manuel Velasquez 1990 is in stock, made around the time when he returned to his original style of Hauser-like body and acoustics from the larger bodies of the 1980s, using high quality wood unique to this brand, with a great overall elegant appearance with a lacquer finish. The acoustics are also Hauser-like, each note is homogenized, and the overall balance is extremely refined. The sound is quite hard and rigid, and responds well to delicate touches, but requires a strong and appropriate touch to be fully played through. The sound image is hard and glossy, with a modest tonal variety, but with deep expressive potential in its delicacy. It is in fairly good condition with a few small, minor dents. The back of the neck has been repainted, probably with lacquer, and there are some dark spots at the second fret that have been repaired from scratches.
