Intimate player with a delightfully warm, rich voice, from this noted New York maker. This is the second Manouk Papazian we have had through the shop in as many years, and another standout classical guitar. In both cases, the instrument remained with the original owner for decades before coming to us. Beloved for their tone, build quality, attention to detail, and creativel aesthetic, it is clear why folks would hold onto these guitars for the entirety of their playing lives. Note the elaborate mosaic rosette with matching top purfling and multiple side purflings, evidence of Papazian's dedication and level of artistry.

This Papazian parlor classical features a super-comfortable 640mm scale, 48mm nut, and a svelt 88mm body depth. A wonderful player for home, studio, or stage, it comes to us in very good overall condition. Priced with hard case.
Condition: Vintage. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
