Hi Jotego! Amalio Burguet make some fine models, A year ago, I bought an ABF, the top model, and I must say, the ABF, I liked more than the F1, the model a little cheaper. The ABF is also built intirety by hand, by himself. the others, are not build by himself. After I bought the guitar, I got the seldom chance to buy a Gerundino guitar, so I am selling the ABF now in Holland. greetings, Peter

Hello everybody, I can subscribe the meaning of Gerondino63, The ABF is a wonderfull instrument, very well designed, the best materials, and a very high direct tone. short, high volume or projection, like one of the best loudspeakers, never the less, it´s no Gerondino, who has the ´Cathedral´sound, (like Paco Pena, azahara). It depends on the way YOU like to play. My God, I wish I had the money for it. Ed

When I was down there I asked Juan if he had any Gerundinos or Rehes, and he told me the story, he (Clapton) knowing they are the most souight after flamencos, and him having the money, Its understandable he bought the lot, I bet they never get properly played, most good players I have met, play on crap guitars, because to be good, means playing all day, meaning you are either unemployed, or if professionel, earning a meager income, and £8000 for a guitar is out of most peoples budget, the best guitars in the world, sit in bank vaults or hoarded in someone collection, and never get played, or sent to Japan, where they are pulled to pieces, in an effort to copy the structure. Another little story Juan told me, was the Earl of Westminster, I think thats his title, anyway he is the richest bloke in the country, owns most of London, he's wife came in and would only spend £100 for her daughters classical guitar.
