Daniel Friederich n°162 demo REIS available at www.concert-classical-guitar.com

Concert Friederich n° 162 from 1965 : the guitar has been offered to the mother of the seller as a present for her birth , only one owner.

At that time M. Friederich was making 3 guitar models (until 1970), the student / semi-concert model which were called Récital and Arpèges with different rosette and basic wood . you can recognize these Récital and Apège model by the rosette, the wood and most importantly the fact that there is no serial number on the tag. These ‘intermediate’ model are not comparable in sound with the concert model. There are some old Friederich for sale and if there is no serial number , these guitars are not concert guitars at all and should be not be sold at a high price at all.

- Top is spruce and back and side plain Brazilian rosewood

Compare with the ‘after 1970’ concert guitar, the concert guitar at that time were lighter because the side were made on only plain wood (no double side).. they were made with spruce top and Brazilian rosewood.

- Everything is original (tuner, fret, polish and the case -). The guitar has the same rosette and the same shape that all the well-known Friederich
- The overall condition is good. The top has some playware but is free of crack.
- The playability is excellent.

Overall comments on the guitar: I have tried many Friederich and I have been totally blow up by this one : there is a huge dynamics - a big sound – the notes are full and beautiful as you would expect from a Friederich. To me that guitar is much better than the last one that we sold from 1991 and 1980… the problem with some Friederich is that some of them are becoming ‘empty’ by too much playing. Maybe it is the Spruce or the Brazilian rosewood.. but on no way this guitar could be considered as a pre’friederich’ .. it is a great guitar and a true Concert Friederich.

An outstanding guitar that will give great pleasure. A real benchmark.
The most exquisite double-top and lattice concert guitars.
