Love the pics of Granada, the mountains, your workshop, your guitars. I think it does a great job and its just what people like me (potential buyers) will want to see. There is something very 'romantic' about the idea of buying a guitar hand built in the mountains of Granada, and you are right to capitalise on on all this. Good that you include your personal philosophy about handmade = handmade, too. Nice touch. I think guitarists will respect that. Its the anithesis of those car adverts where everything is built by robots Soundclips also good idea - not many guitar makers can do this, and the tone of that Negra on your bulerias is AWESOME! Amazing as you are using cheap recrding gear. That guitar sounds bright and dark al at the same time - beautiful. Suggestions- I would also want to know - where did this guy learn to build guitars? How long has he been building? How many does he make per year? After sales service? Just a bit more to make me feel comfortable about parting with my hard earned cash. BTW, I'd like to hear some powerful rasgueados on your guitars to hear how they respond - the clips I've heard are all great but are very kind of falseta/solo oriented if you know what I mean. I want to hear that nice clean 'shing' that comes from a decent balanced flamenco guitar. How would it sound if I was accompanying? That kind of thing. Minor gripe - you are coding the site for a set (high) resolution (probably 1024 x 768), and the opening page disappears off the edge of my screen so I have to scroll around to see it all and get to the links. Best not to do this, or at least code for a smaller res. (800 x 600). Just a few suggestions Anders, its coming along great and you have all the right ingredients there, I feel. Jon
