RE: Tezanos-Pérez Guitars (in reply to Guest)

Errol, As Tom said, I own a Tezanos Perez negra. As you are likely aware, both Tezanos and Perez were journeymen in the Ramirez shop for many years. Tezanos father also was with Ramirez. About ten years or so ago they left Ramirez to set up shop on their own. I have only seen and played the one I have, so I am speaking from limited experience. Here are a couple of link you may what to look at. http://www.mkckorea.com/ndtplaza/mkplaza/guitar/Luthier.htm http://www.mkckorea.com/ndtplaza/mkplaza/guitar/guitars.htm Mine is a Concierto Brazilian. They make two models of flamencos, the Madrid and Concierto. The Concierto being the top of the line. Mine is a true concert level, world-class guitar. The tonal qualities are more on the contemporary side. If you are after a hard edge, in your face guitar, this isn't it. When I got it about five months ago, the basses were good, but not exceptional. They have really opened up in the last month or so. The most impressive aspect of this guitar is the exceptional mids and trebles without one overpowering the other. Note separation is also excellent, which most people don’t talk about, but you will always hear it in a top quality guitar. This guitar can be played just about anyway you want. You can drive it hard or back off and let it shine. It has excellent volume with beautiful sustain. The workmanship is immaculate. The only negative is an action that’s a bit higher than I like. I lowered it when I got it, but it lost some tonal qualities so I raised it. I am used to it now, so it doesn’t bother me any more. It’s hard to find many TP in the US as most all of them go to Japan. In Japan these guys are folk heroes. It would be tough to find a guitar much better, although I’m still looking! Pat

Hey Patrick, that was great! You're right about information overload. At one point, I felt like my gray matter was beginning to run out my ears. Let's definitely get together again in a couple of months. one-two-THREE-four-five-SIX-seven-EIGHT-nine-TEN-eleven-TWELVE! I was doing that all the way home.
