Hi everybody! I've got my hands on a guitar and I'm trying to find out more about it ,I hope that you guys can help me or maybe point me in the right direction. Apparently was made by EDUARDO FERRER , in the 70's .I have dug on the internet for information but couldn't find much , other than this: "Eduardo Ferrer Castillo (Granada, b. 1905- d. 198?) Eduardo Ferrer was born in 1905. When he was about ten or twelve years old he entered his uncle Benito Ferrer's shop as an apprentice, he also attended seminar school for a time, thinking he might like to become a priest, but changed his mind. When his uncle died in 1925, Eduardo took over his shop. His life was one long adventure: from the time as an apprentice when he earned nothing, to the during the war when he sold a guitar for twenty pesetas-- which seemed to be a fortune. As a luthier, his work followed closely that of his uncle. Although he tried various experiments, he kept returning to the tried and true traditional methods of Benito Ferrer and Antonio de Torres. It was his opinion that they had explored all there was to explore, and there was nothing new to invent. His importance as a luthier, however, also was as a teacher. Almost all of the guitar makers currently working in Granada either apprenticed with him or learned their art from those who did. His apprentices include José Castaño and Milan continue their studies with him after his uncle's death; Juan López who died during the war, Miguel Robles, Manuel Fernández, Francisco Manuel Díaz, Manuel López, Antonio Marín, his own son José Ferrer, and many more. He also helped train guitar makers in Japan, he spent 3 months each year between 1966-1968 in Japan showing Yamaha workers how to build guitars." What intrigued me was the fact that I couldn't find any guitars made by him for sale anywhere, vintage guitars dealers, ebay...Any piece of information would be appreciated , I would also like to know , if it's possible ,the market value of this guitar. Thank you , in advance
