[Profile]
Jose Yacopi (1916-2006). Born in Vitoria, Spain. He joined his father Gamaliel Yacopi's workshop and made his first guitar at the age of 18. In 1949, his family moved to San Fernando, near Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he opened a workshop and continued to make guitars for the rest of his life. At first, he made traditional Spanish guitars based on Antonio de Torres, like his father, but just before he moved to Argentina in 1947, he began to use the unusual radial arrangement of the bars that he and his father had invented. This became a characteristic of this brand. There was a time when many guitars were shipped to Argentina, but only about 10% of the top models were made by Jose himself using high quality wood.
It has a very unique acoustics and tone, with a wonderful balance between the massive resonance of the low to mid-range and the lustrous treble, and the richness of the sound in polyphonic songs is something that no other guitar can match. In addition, the tone has a South American clarity and color, and because it has both classical and modern atmospheres, it has been loved by a wide range of users from classical players to popular music. It has been used by Maria Luisa Anido, Eduardo Falu, and others, and in recent years, it has also been very popular among lovers of bossa nova and South American music.
Although his son, Fernando Yacopi, is now in charge of the workshop, Jose's instruments from the 1960s to the 1990s, before his death, are still very popular among his fans.

[Description]
The printing on the label is a little faded, so the exact date of production is not known, but the serial number suggests that it was made in the early 1980s. The sound is thick and pleasant to the ear, yet each note has a solid core.
The sound board has some scratches from playing, but there are no cracks and it is the original finish. The neck is in good condition and the string height has been adjusted for easy playing. The balance of the resonance is excellent, and the sound is very smooth and smooth for a Yacopi.
