So... it seems that it's not a Rafael Moreno Rodriguez after all! The headstock really looks like Rafael's but if you look closely, and compare both, you'll find that they are slightly different. The rosette design is also quite different from Rafael's.

Plus Rafael builds with the smaller Torres plantilla of the Granada school, whilst this guitar has the bigger, more modern plantilla.

So the mystery remains... who is the builder of this guitar. Here's a video of Paco Heredia Torres playing a blanca, sounds very nice... dry and very woody, with a very raw sound... Paco's playing is also really cool!

I am also attaching a picture of Juan Roman Caro playing a negra from the same maker... you can clearly see the headstock on that picture.

Any help figuring out which maker this is would be very appreciated.

Thank you.

Saludos,

Avi

I've seen several caño roto players with the mystery guitar. Maybe it's a Madrid maker called Hermanos Borja?

Check the thread below for more photographs, headstock looks similar?

if you mean José Rodriguez Peña, it's not his headstock

Wow, thanks a lot! Looks like the mystery has been solve... Hermanos Borja it is! El Viejin seems to be supervising the production of these guitars. It would be interesting to try one... the one played by David Jimenez (in the video where he accompanies Piculabe in the first post in this thread) sounds amazing!!
