The JOM FLE Luthier Series Cypress Flamenco Guitar is made for players who want the fast attack, crisp articulation and dry, percussive response at the heart of traditional flamenco. Handcrafted in Paracho, Mexico, this nylon-string guitar combines a solid spruce top with bookmatched solid cypress back and sides, individually calibrated Torres-inspired fan bracing and traditional Spanish heel construction. The result is a responsive all-solid-wood instrument that remains clear in softer passages and balanced across the register. A cocobolo rosewood fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, transparent flamenco pickguard, and Gaboon ebony tuning-machine details complete its traditional build. Every guitar is hand-numbered and signed by its final inspector, then supplied in a deluxe moisture-resistant hardshell archtop case.

Solid Spruce and Cypress for Flamenco Focus

The solid spruce top and bookmatched solid cypress back and sides establish the FLE’s traditional flamenco voice. Spruce gives the top the responsiveness needed to translate detailed right-hand work, while cypress contributes the fast attack, crisp articulation and dry, percussive character associated with the style. Wood binding frames the body cleanly, and the gloss polish finish gives the guitar a refined presentation without detracting from its natural materials. This all-solid-wood construction centers the instrument on direct response and clarity for flamenco playing.

Spanish Heel Construction With Calibrated Fan Bracing

A traditional Spanish heel joins the neck and body as a single resonant structure, an approach long associated with classical and flamenco guitar construction. Inside, spruce fan bracing developed from the traditional Torres design is individually calibrated for each instrument. Rather than using a uniform bracing pattern, JOM evaluates the specific wood set to help the top move freely while maintaining balance across the register. This attention to the relationship between top, bracing and body supports the guitar’s responsive, carefully voiced character.

Spanish Cedar Neck With Traditional Nylon-String Dimensions

The Spanish cedar neck carries a 25.6" scale length and 2.059" nut width for a traditional nylon-string playing feel. Its 12-fret neck-to-body layout and 19 total frets maintain the familiar proportions preferred by many classical and flamenco players, while the cocobolo stripe and JOM LS “Shell” headplate add distinctive Luthier Series details. This neck format gives players room for precise fretting, chord movement and fingerstyle articulation without departing from the instrument’s traditional flamenco foundation.

Cocobolo Rosewood Appointments and Bone Details

Cocobolo rosewood appears on both the fingerboard and bridge, creating a cohesive material theme across the guitar’s primary playing surfaces. The bridge is accented with a bone inlay, while a bone nut and saddle provide the string contact points. JOM Luthier Series tuning machines with Gaboon ebony details complete the hardware package, adding a traditional visual complement to the guitar’s handcrafted construction. These appointments support the FLE’s focused design without distracting from its spruce-and-cypress tonal foundation.

A Flamenco Guitar Built for Dedicated Players

A clear flamenco pickguard protects the spruce top during percussive techniques while keeping the wood visible, and D’Addario EJ46 nylon strings arrive installed. The guitar has no electronics, keeping its design centered on acoustic performance. For storage and travel, the included deluxe moisture-resistant hardshell archtop case features an integrated thermometer and hygrometer, along with a white cotton handling glove and extra Gaboon ebony tuning knob. The JOM FLE Luthier Series Cypress Flamenco Guitar is a hand-numbered, traditionally built instrument for players seeking a responsive flamenco voice and refined Paracho craftsmanship.
