HemeolaMan -> RE: seeking info on Carlos Isidro de Frontera - 1953 guitar (May 10 2010 22:00:37)

I think I've heard of him. incredibly rare stuff, reminiscent of manuel de chico, except the pegs are typically done better by carlos. Actually, I think brune might've sold one a year back or so, I overheard him talking with another customer about it. I didn't really have a chance to hear much about it, but perhaps it's a testament that a similarly priced Barbero is still in the shop, whereas the Carlos de frontera is most certainly sold. Interesting maker. I believe he is noted for his use of the black and white rope purfling as well, but i can't recall off hand. it was either that or a wheat motif.
