I'm not sure about this 5C model but Morante is right, "Pedro de Miguel" (2 luthiers by the first names of Pedro and Miguel - Pedro passed away a few years back, so it's Miguel handling everything now) builds handmade concert guitars. I have been after a negra for a while now, as they are amongst my favorite guitars... amazing value for the money they charge, and they have managed to keep their prices steady over the years. I was in their shop a couple of years ago... I got to try a few of their student models, which are not made there in the shop. I'm not sure who makes them, maybe Alhambra, but they are of a very decent quality. I would say that the ones I have tried were on par with the Sanchis 1F I used to own... they would have made a really good "second" guitar - a guitar you take out to gigs and parties without being scared to damage it. I know that they recently decided to bridge the gap between their primeras and their student models... they now offer an option at a price of €2,500 (or at least this was the price 2 years ago). Miguel told me that this model was entirely handmade by a luthier his shop works with... the woods are of a superior quality than the student models, and you can even have it french polished. In addition to that, the final setup was personally made by Miguel. He had such a negra in his shop when I was there and I was very impressed by it... definitely a great guitar, although for that kind of money, you can get a concert level instrument nowadays!
