While I'm busy working in my workshop today, yes in West Palm Beach, actually Singer Island, (my website contact info is unfortunately a bit out of date). people are both praising me and ripping on me.. . I guess province is not exactly correct but for non spaniards other than state, or shire, it's probably the best way to describe a collection of cities of a region... Anyway, thanks Michael for the complimentary comments on your new guitar! Thanks Andy for your continued interest and positive comments! I have built about half a dozen cutaways since I moved to Singer Island mainly for cross over players who plug in and amplify their guitars a lot of the time. I have installed several different pickup systems in these guitars from LR Baggs hex, Fishman premium blend, K&K pure/quantum blend, B-band 6 series blend to Carlos VIP. (the trickiest of all to install). I will be drawing up plans soon, with the help of Michael, for a 1998 Conde (built by Felipe Conde) with an optional plantilla outline from my 1973 Faustino. (Which I am currently using with slight modifications for my own guitars). The guitar has been meticulously measured with the latest post construction measuring tools. It will be available to anyone interested when completed. I haven't posted much lately but have looked frequently and everyone's work I have seen has been very inspiring particularly Andy's and Ethan's. Ethan gave me some good tips before I made my first cutaway - thanks again! One more cutaway order then back to some traditional builds for me. Well, keep up all your good work and I'll post some pics later...

Indeed, with over 30 years of experience I can design and draw multi million dollar buildings, but the thought of preparing plans for a classic guitar has me a bit tentative. I want to ensure that they are impeccably accurate and dimensionally true. I can't wait to help Jorge with this project....it is going to be fun. As a new poster here, I really want to thank everyone for their thoughts, comments and opinions....both crabby and thoughtful. :) Seriously, I pass no judgements only offer gratitude and blessings. Thanks PS, Jorge I like your headstock. Personally, I would have designed something a bit more architectural but that's me. :)
