rogeliocan -> RE: "Andalusian" Guitars (no trolling) (Mar. 12 2011 20:23:36)
|
After reading about the 'boca doble' I saw that it's an AG guitar. So I asked la Sonanta if they knew who the 'Spanish Luthiers' were or were from and that was the answer I got. As stated, this is the official statement from AG so who knows if it's true or not. The reason given is so weird.
My personal opinion on 'when clients asks who is making these guitars' would be a new point 1: because this is a guitar you are buying and clients want to know how made it. And that, probably 100% of the time, unless of course it's an AG then it's because we somehow want to steal the Caramilk secret.
Thank you for contacting La Sonanta.
We are only a distributor of the Andalusian guitars and the official statement of Andalusian Guitars themselves about the luthier of the AG guitars is:
The AG are made in Canary Island by Spanish luthier and one assistant, (what can we tell you as the distributor of the AG guitars is that the luthier of AG is of the same quality than Arcangel I mean on the same rank or status, but the name of maker is not given , because in the past many problems came as a result of this names issue and Paco gave his recommendation for Andalusian Guitars and not for any specific individual person because of that too, in order to avoid what have already happened many times. You know, when clients ask who is making these or those guitars and where etc. the reasons for their questions can be as follows:
1) only to do politics.(take advantage somehow)
2) to make a better financial offer to that particular luthier for another firm.(or to sell this information to the competitors, can be even Chinese market etc.I personally meet one that tried to buy this info for Yamaha from me, to duplicate high end guitars for 100 dollars each…and destroy the Spanish market etc.)
3) just out of harmless curiosity( this is 1% of people)you are of this kind of respectful people that just ask to know, with no intention to harm or take advantage, but unfortunately, this is the exception and not the rule, the other 99% falls is categories 1 or 2 or both!
so to really be focused in what’s important in a guitar, that is the amazing quality and the sound & art etc, AG choose to avoid potential problems, and Paco was in favour of this policy because it really eliminates many problems.
