short doc on German Vazquez Rubio

its too short for my tastes and not enough of Armand's playing either but its still great:

for anyone who has ever met him, German is a true gentleman and artist. i recommend that anyone passing through LA to visit his shop and say hello.

Armand Arnazzi is also a great guy and great player.

Nice documentary. German is a great guy and very talented luthier and repairman. I've sent him my guitars and I've been very satisfied with his work. Very pro and experienced. He is highly recommended.

yes, forgot to mention that whatever other skills he has, he is the go to luthier repairman. i know that chris kamen and dan zeff use him and i've seen numerous rock star axes idling in their cases, waiting to be fine tuned or repaired.

i've used his services too on occasion and his work is stellar.

I have a GVR classical that I have altered by electrifying it and adding a Golpador. I have had some dealing with his operation and all of them good (they did not do the changes). I love the sound of this guitar as it does have a deeper bass end that I like, but yet can sound bright (not as bright as it should for flamenco though but closer).
