Vintage Venezuelan Cuatro & Case by J. Luciano Nuñez F Guitarras 4 String Guitar

Description

Vintage Venezuelan Cuatro built by J. Luciano Nuñez F., includes case. Instrument is in good playing condition with minor dents, etc., and wear from age and use. It includes a vintage case which has some marks from prior tape/stickers, holes in vinyl, wear to inside felt, and 1 broken lock clamp. See the video in link below for better overview.
I don’t know how old the Cuatro is but I researched and contacted the family shop where it was made (now called “Nuñez Guitarras” which can be found on Facebook). The nephew of Luciano replied confirming his uncle had built the instrument and that Luciano had died over 30 years ago. Another site stated that the Nuñez family has been making instruments for several generations.
The Cuatro was made in Quito, Ecuador. It measures approx. 30-1/2” long. It has some wear on the first few frets, a small ding in side of head stock, some minor chipping at bottom of fretboard, minor scratches and dings at edges.
It is together well with no issues - Strong where neck attaches to the body, no lifting or gaps at the saddle, no neck twisting or warp that I can tell, string action is okay. Tuning knobs work good, 2nd string tuner is harder to turn than others, but all work.
I uploaded a video to YouTube showing and providing a demo of this Cuatro - click this button:

"WHAT MAKES OUR AUCTIONS BETTER?"
NOTHING FISHY.
Every effort has been made to describe the item fully. If there is a flaw on the item, it is revealed in the ad.
We want you to have the confidence that you are buying from people with integrity throughout the whole transaction.
HONEST SHIPPING.
Why not free shipping?
- There is no such thing as "free shipping”, the cost is incorporated into the item instead. We are on the far West Coast, so if we offer “free shipping” we would need incorporate enough extra into the amount to cover possibly shipping to zone 8/East Coast. This would mean that anyone in the other 7 zones paid higher than they should have. When calculating by distance you pay only the actual shipping cost on domestic shipping.
The domestic and international shipping charge is quoted in the auction shipping calculator, please be sure to check the cost, especially if international, so you know the total price when you bid.
To keep costs lower, we “recycle” clean packaging for shipments (We
do not
charge any packing/handling on domestic shipping).
