This month I am going for another guitar, trading my HSL F03. I had my mind set to a Manuel Adalid but now I found something else, a D. Germán Torres Íñiguez 2008 blanca.
Anyone ever heard about this builder?

I guess you saw the video on La Sonanta's site.
Thanks for the link! I saw the video indeed, he seems to be a nice person...
I got an answer from La Sonanta and in short: spanish handmade guitar, with a good price/quality. He doesn't seem to be very known internationally. More or like our Mexican fellow luthiers, FN and SC.

But he said he sells at least half his guitars to foreigners. (He mentioned Finland - maybe he's famous there ) The few seconds of music at the end of the film sound good.

Francisco Navarro Reyes huh nice, how much did you pay for it? So let me get this right it is called a reyes model because it is made structurally similar both internally and externally and this includes the headstock to a Manuel Reyes guitar? Sorry to ask but i just wanted to make shure.

To be honest, I dont know, just liked it above the German Torres guitar, sadly enough though, because it costed extra

Hi kozz, you buying guitar every month now? concratulations amigo. I remember that you got a navarro concert model quite resently. I have bit of a guitar fever and Im considering the navarro reyes model. Are the setup and the feel same in your navarros? I have the student model and the feel is really good so Im wondering does he make the top models with same body shape and neck angle etc. I cannot try the guitar before buying so it would be luckyjump again. Oh, and hows the sound comparing to your concert model?

LOL The last guitar I bought was the HSL-F03 negra, but I did not like it anymore. Luckily at La Sonanta it was no problem to return it. The concert model I have 3/4 of a year I believe....very mature dry sound.
To be honest about the Reyes, I've played it for a few minutes and had to stop because of the backproblems, but it felt nice. Even with the concert model I have to find my correct posture and feel, so its a matter of adjustment over time.
About the shape etc. I believe Tom Blackshear wrote a post about it.
The sound is exactly the reason why I wanted to change the F03. The Reyes model is real sweet sounding, whilst the Concert model is more "macho", or whatever it is called. The reason I had bought the F03 was because, with my little knowledge, that I thought negras per definition should sound sweeter, but I was wrong (again )
The price-quality comparision is amazing I think.
From what I heard is that FN has a few employees now doin some preperation, and perhaps completely building the student models. It has to be something like that, because it takes one month longer to order a FN due to the enormous ask for his guitars.
In my opinion you can't go wrong, with the Reyes model. Isn't GJ also playin this model?
