I dont know how relevant this is but my own experience with Ruben Diaz was sort of odd, i felt as if he was trying to scam me or whatever. It was when i was just starting out learning about flamenco and i just wrote to him, because he had this stuff everywhere on youtube and all, and the deal was that it was when i wanted to aquire a flamenco guitar that was decent. He told me all this stuff about how Andalusian guitars where the best guitars in spain and that they were an important part of flamenco history with inovations etc. it just got crazier and crazier imo. he told me that he could get me a guitar for under half of the list price if he played in a friends wedding and weird stuff. It all reminded me about how that esteban stuff went out, you know the tv commercial guy with the hat, so i chose not to get one. so in conclusion i definatly see this guy taking advantage of people with lesser knowledge of guitars, and trying to turn them to think it is the best out there. even if the guitars probably arent the worst and i have never tried one i think that the marketing is malicious and even harming. it is completely different from my experiences from when i bought my navarro, in wich the salesman was truthfull about the product and history about it etc. Now i am waiting for my second flamenco guitar from Anders and happy watching it take shape! sorry if this is non relevant but Anders is what i see as a perfect businessman and luthier, he is a guy i got a really good first impression from and doesnt try to stuff things down my throat, rather he has tried to enlighten me about things and a perfect example of pleasing business, making you feel comfortable is very important i think. sorry if this post was just stupid but its how i see things[:D] -Jonas
