My last interview with the legend was somewhat different: when I returned a guitar which I had commissioned from el hijo, for shoddy workmanship and inaccurate bridge replacement, el padre came out to defend his progeny, without any justification whatever. !Que poca verguenza!

Hola Nealf

That´s more or less what el padre said. However I am honest and do not have la cara dura. I am not capable of selling a bad guitar to anyone, even less at a high price.

By the way, did you go to Madrid? And visit José?

Suerte

When you sell a guitar like that you have to make a point of trash-talking the guitar and the luthier.
Even take it over the top, "...absolutely the worst guitar I have ever played! I am sure that this luthier doesn't have a flamenco bone in his body, because this guitar certainly doesn't! I could buy a guitar 100 times better from a virtual unknown off the internet."

This way your conscience is appeased and you can take satisfaction that the fan-boy fool who paid that much deserved to pay that much for it.

Forget cara dura and go for descarado. LOL
