Rafael Romero Guiitars

After reading Foroflamenco posts for some time now, I finally decided to become a registered member. I am a retired U.S. Foreign Service Officer who spent most of my career overseas and who currently consults, I have been in love with flamenco since I was a teenager, although I have been studying flamenco for only the last four years. Before that, my playing was limited to the usual three-chord folk guitar. I'll never play front and center at a flamenco festival, but what I have learned brings me great joy, and I hope to continue learning. I have a question concerning the luthier Rafael Romero whose shop is located in Cadiz. I have heard good things about his work but have never seen his guitars. I currently own a beautiful Vicente Carrillo negra, and am looking for a good blanca to complement it. I have a possibility of obtaining a Rafael Romero blanca and would appreciate any experience or thoughts anyone may have regarding his guitars.

Hi! I own a blanca from him, and it's a great guitar! The first thing that everybody mention when playing it, is "how easy to play on it"! It has a lot of color or flavour, sharp and punchy when You need it, yet can be lyrical as well. First his prices wasn't that high, but went up soon as he became known by more and more people as usual. I've played several other good guitars as Bernal, Sanchis Carpio, some Conde, Contreras, Ramirez..Some was better but in that price-range none. It's sadly up for sale due to financial reasons, as I'm doing a Jazz-conservatory, and I have to finance that: http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=113769&p=1&tmode=1&smode=1http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=113769&p=1&tmode=1&smode=1 Some photos there as well.. Apart from that I'm here to answer any of Your questions You may have
