RE: Spanish (or based) Guitar Makers... (in reply to AndresK)

Tato and Manuel Guillena starts from 1k , and Tato have perfect finish uses only wood from 1a, Manuel Guillena is very similar and sound nice.

Ortega (one of the best working with Cedar) starts from 1,5 or 2k , like Pantoja for example , and they sound very good

Like good players , they have good makers , they re a 30m population , so of course the quality have to be great with so many people playing and making.

check all the videos that i post , but people are free to buy expensive factoy Condes etc

Do you read your own comments? “Starts from” means Valencia or some factory. As I said earlier, no Luthier made guitar costs like that.

no valencia , free to go there and check for yourself, or with someone from there

i said start , because if you choose other woods and or peghead with witnner will be more , or even shellac of course

The waiting list is 12 months + - , in my opinion the price will rise soon
Manuel Guillena is a well knowed guitarrero from Sevilla Arahal , you can check with people from sevilla
Tato is from Huelva and its making a name for himself , hes a licensed naval carpenter and a woodworker , if you know someone from that area you can check it with them

Why would someone one want shyte wood?? Why waste man power hours to construct and gamble on shyte wood outcome? Factory guitars have no competitor in those price ranges due to BULK production. They will use decent woods as any luthier who could never afford to drop the price down there. I am not sure what is not clear?

RE: Spanish (or based) Guitar Makers... (in reply to Ricardo)

ask them , Tato only uses primera wood , well its more honest for now than price tag a guitar the same as someone that allready have a name in the market , thats why i allready said that the price will increase soon ... his work is really good thats why 1 year waiting list , many people wants to get the "lower" price.
theres the phone number above ask Tato his business plan, or talk with someone that you know from Huelva.

Regarding Manuel i dont know , but keepin in mind the huge market , its better to have work doing what you love than none or very few . I really dont know his personal life and or business plan, but i get your point.
Hes well knowed in Sevilla so maybe its easy for you to check that.

Factory guitars are for example Luis Postigo (dont know if all)

If Morante is from Cadiz , maybe he can check Tato and Manuel
