A long-time friend brought me his second-hand Vicente Sanchis (Valencia) guitar to renew.
The fingerboard had some bad, deep wear-and-tear marks on it. I filled it up with nitro cellulose resin, mixed with some dark wood sanding dust.
I refreshed the frets and polished the hardwear, cleaned the guitar and fitted it with some Savarez strings.
The most interesting bit of this repair was probably what was inside of the guitar case; some very old "capodasters", packets of unused strings, and a Spanish train ticket (probably to Valencia?) stating "95 pesetas" on it... The guitar obviously has a bit of history and has come a long way!
Most importantly, it's light, plays brilliantly (almost Flamenco-guitar-like) and has a very descent sound for a semi-handcrafted, semi-assembly line guitar!
I own one of these Vicente Sanchis. They are light weight and project trebles like their flamenco blancas. I use mine for playing flamenco. They sound very similar to the latest generation of Sanchis Lopez guitars. Your friend has a treasure.
