Victor Manuel Diaz

Are any of you that live in Granada aquainted with Victor? I understand his waiting list is now two years and price $5000 US dollars. I have one of his guitars and my only complaint is the finish (French polish) is extremely delicate. I play very aggressive with lots of right hand movement and unfortantly the top has suffered much loss of finish and numerous thumb nail dents. I am considering having it refinished with lacquer or selling it. Do any of you have thoughts on refinishing with lacquer and what a high quality job will cost? Also any ideas on value for sale. It is a 2002 and plays outstanding. It is all flamenco in every way. Also what are your thoughts on Jesus Bellido's guitars? Thanks and best regards, Sam

Hi Sam,
He's a great guy, builder and a tocaor. If you get to Granada, ask him to let you try his own guitar. Light as a feather, beaten up and very sweet.
Jesus! I wasn't too impressed.

Jim.
