Harold's article about buying 'fake'...

Here he is with the guitar he bought. The shop was about the size of a large cupboard.

And this is the guitar maker asking which 'fake' label he would like stuck inside !!!!!! Harold's reply was " Yours" which is why he looks surprised.

Do those look like Cordoba labels to you?

je je je Estevan, we were in there for hours with H loving every minute of it as you can imagine.

Chiyodad, no definitely not Cordoba labels, the Spanish guitars H tried were not that impressive. So hard to fake flamenco
