I like your head. It reminds me a bit of a fleur-de-lys.

Nice craftsmanship! How do you like the Der Jung tuning machines? I got a set of the same ones and they are surprisingly good expect one of the mounting screws was unusable and the gears needed a heavy dose of machine oil. Probably not much quality control

RE: new flamenco (in reply to Jose Marques)

thank you all

unfortunately I don´t have photos :(

this guitar as 7 braces and the lower harmonic bar has angled :) the way that this one sounds I don´t know yet maybe tomorrow or the day after.
Talking about that if some Flamenco player wishes to test will be well come, I can play a bit but not closer to a good guitars.

yes the DJ are really good, I never used them before and I must say that they are really good, honestly I will use them again. I use in most of my guitars the Schaller grand tune and let me say that ythis ones are no worst, maybe the Schaller win because they are pretty and I like them mos for the aspect but in means of workability I didn't saw mush diferences :) or I had some lucky and this ones came really good I don't know

Nice looking guitar and a unique head design.

How long have you been building?

And of course, all guitars are quite interesting to hear when you have a chance.

Thank you Tom
I just finished this little one about 2 hours ago...

I have being working as luthiers about 10 years, more or less, and I was 2 years learning with a builder in Portugal.
After that I was carpenter for years :)

about the sound you are wright but I need to find someone that knows how to play to be something like it must, of course I can just scratch some chords for you guys listen the sound, but for real play I need someone that can do that for me :)

Lets see

Great headstock design! Is it a bookmatched headplate?

beautiful crafwork. I love the stripped edges. Looks like a rope. Very neat and precise.

parabens!
What a beautiful guitar. Impressive rosette, bridge, head, etc.

Some of those guitars on your website are very UUAU! raised fretboards, beveled cutaways, matrix tops... and such woods and wooden bindings etc. just incredible.
