Hideous golpeador

This gets my vote for the most hideous golpeador in the history of Western Civilization.

LOL 'hideous' is a good word. I wonder what is up with that, looks like an eye patch to hide some big defect. Or they ran out of the normal one so they grabbed a shoe sole. I wonder if they made many like this.

Wow I winced at that. I cringe when someone one asks me to do a black tap plate. I had to do black tortoise shell plastic plate last year. ...oh why did I get up that day.

Black golpeadores are ugly enough – though I have seen Juan Habichuela playing a guitar with black golpeadores. But no luthier on earth would make one in that shape, and then put it on a classical guitar.

It's obviously a homemade job by some imbecile who doesn't know the first thing about flamenco. After seeing that photo I had to skip lunch.

Do you think he kind of looks like Hunter S. Thompson?

Not liking the black tappies, but loving the Juan. Quite the robust tremolo.

That's what you get when you punch a guitar: a black eye.

RE: Hideous golpeador (in reply to Ramon Amira)

or
"there's a huge crack that i'm trying to cover up."

Maybe he is selling his Ramirez because he has been dreaming of owning a Bajo Sexto

Caramba! I guess it's a bit like plastic surgery, once you start you don't know when to stop.

Whoa... never associated Tío Juan with Uncle Duke before, but this video - thanks to your comment - has, perhaps, altered my perception. So to speak.

Oh yeah.
(Apart from the horrendous V-I cadence at the end, the sure way to ruin a granaína.)
