Previously-Owned Guitars Tabs
This Calidad Suprema is an striking example of Jose Oribe guitars. If you hadn’t seen the inside label you would think this Calidad Suprema was a brand new guitar. It isn’t. It is 37 years old and not a scratch or ding on it. The sound is amazing. The present owner didn’t play it much and it has sat in its case for years. The redwood soundboard has been quite popular with guitarists and in my opinion has greater volume that any other wood. The woods in this guitar were well aged before it was built and now we can add years onto that. This model was top-of-the-line when built.

This Oribe Cutaway guitar is one of the rare ones with a cutaway body. The guitar is in perfect shape except for some blotches in the finish on the back and sides. These cannot be seen when being played. Has plastic tap plates installed by the maker to protect the guitar around the strings. The guitar is probably about 15-20 years old. There is no date on the label. A great guitar for anyone who needs good access to the high frets.

This ProA guitar is approximately 20 or more years old. There are some blotches on the back and sides, but the finish is otherwise in perfect shape. There is a slight discoloring at the bottom of the lower bout. It has a tap plate installed by José Oribe. The sound is excellent. This model was assembled in Japan by fine craftsmen. The soundboard was then voiced by Oribe himself and the bridge, setup, and finish also completed by him. This is a genuine Oribe guitar with Oribe quality throughout.
