Yes, that's what I thought as well. Though many people use guitars as decoration pieces, especially at restaurants and bars, I think it's a shame in this case.

Thanks! I'm still gonna try to dig some mor information about it, but first I need to give it a good clean, polishing and etc.

Regarding its construction, I can only tell it's ladder braced. Nut and saddle made of plastic, which I'm going to substitute for bone. The tuning machines look like make from bone too, not plastic as usual.

I took some photos and made a video from the inside of it. I'll post it in the Build and Repair section as I mentioned, to avoid double posting.

For what it's worth, the great man himself, Chet Atkins, played an Estruch for a while (1959 model). That guitar is in the Country Music Hall of Fame now.

I believe Nick Drake also played an Estruch classical guitar, among others.

Default Did you find age for that label …

I recently found a Juan Estruch 350 with that label … no date or anything … just ‘Juan Estruch Barcelona’ then made in Spain … mid 350 … it’s like it’s never been played so I can’t believe it’s not 70’s or 80’s … but???

The guy I got it from said it belonged to his uncle, so judging by his age, yes, it would be around 70-80s. But not having a specific number on the label, guess we'll never know
