Love the pics of Granada, the mountains, your workshop, your guitars. I think it does a great job and its just what people like me (potential buyers) will want to see. There is something very 'romantic' about the idea of buying a guitar hand built in the mountains of Granada, and you are right to capitalise on on all this. Good that you include your personal philosophy about handmade = handmade, too. Nice touch. I think guitarists will respect that. Its the anithesis of those car adverts where everything is built by robots Soundclips also good idea - not many guitar makers can do this, and the tone of that Negra on your bulerias is AWESOME! Amazing as you are using cheap recrding gear. That guitar sounds bright and dark al at the same time - beautiful. Suggestions- I would also want to know - where did this guy learn to build guitars? How long has he been building? How many does he make per year? After sales service? Just a bit more to make me feel comfortable about parting with my hard earned cash. BTW, I'd like to hear some powerful rasgueados on your guitars to hear how they respond - the clips I've heard are all great but are very kind of falseta/solo oriented if you know what I mean. I want to hear that nice clean 'shing' that comes from a decent balanced flamenco guitar. How would it sound if I was accompanying? That kind of thing. Minor gripe - you are coding the site for a set (high) resolution (probably 1024 x 768), and the opening page disappears off the edge of my screen so I have to scroll around to see it all and get to the links. Best not to do this, or at least code for a smaller res. (800 x 600). Just a few suggestions Anders, its coming along great and you have all the right ingredients there, I feel. Jon

Hi guys. Thanks for the nice words. To Jon. I think that the things you say are very interesting, and thank you very much for taking you time to write your thoughts. It's very much appreciated and I will take them into consideration along the road. Good idea with this rasgueado soundclip. Are there any particular palo that you'd recommend for that? Right now, I'm going to leave the site as it is, because it's really eaten a lot of my energy, and I need to concentrate on othere things, like working and playing. BTW. that negra had old low tension strings on when I did the recording. The owner is very satisfied with it. nice playing Anders

Nice site. Your guitars look and sound delicious! What strings are on them in the sound clips? I will be in Spain in July, do you let people stop by to test drive them? Would be great, I love Granada. Ricardo

Just call me first. The strings are different ones. I like to put Daddario med. on the trebles, with the third as the composite. Then I use Savarez Corum or Daddario basses, depending on the guitar and what is in my workshop. I dont want to be to religious with strings, I want my guitars to work with a variety of strings and then let the player choose what he/she likes.

Hi Simon. Thanks a lot for your kind advices. I will check it out in a while. Right now, I'm simply to computer exhausted to do anything. I've changed the font as you told me on some of the pages and will do it on all of them. At the moment, my computer is used to answering mail and to look at this forum. everything else just makes me sick Right now, my life is building, playing and once in a while seing some friends. The schedule is full, but I'm happy, because all three things are things i really like So when are you comming to Restabal? Right now, we've had some absolutely wonderfull days, but the rain will come now, it's easter Un saludo Anders
