1999 Alejandro Cervantes Milenia Classical Guitar Luthier Project

Description

For your consideration is a 1999 Alejandro Cervantes Milenia/Milenium Classical Guitar HM1099-3.  This was my first good classical guitar that I got during my early classical guitar studies and I am a little sad to sell it.  I had bought it used and the previous owner looks like they were practicing flamenco on it (nail marks from rasgueado and gulpe) so I didn't feel too bad if I accidentally made a mark on it.  However, some unfortunate things happened to it not too long after getting it.  After participating in a Scott Tennant masterclass I hung out at a friend's house and had it out playing when their dog came up and slapped the soundboard with it's bone (that's the whole to the right of the sound hole).  After that a series of bumps and scratches and nicks found their way onto this poor instrument. Since it had developed so much "character" I stopped using it for performances and made it my teaching guitar.  Then one day in the middle of teaching a lesson the bridge exploded.  I tried still using it during classes but it was just too buzzy and it has been in it's case for the last few years.  I kept intending to have the bridge replaced since it is still a good instrument but I know that I will probably never make the time which is why I am selling it.  I believe that I have gotten most of the damage pictured.  There is a crack about 2 inches long at the bottom of the back.  This is being sold "AS-IS".  It will shipped in a case.
I have a couple of other "project" instruments available as well so please check my other auctions.
Thank you!
