Francisco Navarro makes a Miguel Rodriguez classical copy. And it's a fantastic great sounding guitar.

I have one such guitar by German Vasquez Rubio, and it is my favorite among all I have ever had, really, I love it.
However, I had Peter Tsiorba tweak the action a few times before it felt properly comfortable.

I have a Navarro student model, and it is an awesome instrument for the money, but (and of course, it is the lower "student" category) does not have the rich and clear tone of the GVR.

Carbonero,

I bought a replica from German 4 months ago. It's a negra. I actually played the Original 1974 Reyes that German made replicas from. It was a very nice blanca. The replica feels exactly like the original, sound, well you can't replicate a vintage sound. But the new replica sounds amazing, it's a lot louder than the og. It's got a dark flamenco growl. It;s my main guitar for playing onstage, en tablao, etc...

I think I will have German make a replica of my mid 90's Conde before I sell it. It's an awesome blanca, I think players would love a replica.

Saludos desde Los Angeles!
