quote:
anyway, what's strange is that this guitar is being marketed as a coorporation between jeronimo and the luthier. like it's based on ideas that jeronimo had to improve or characterize this model. but in the interview that ramzy posted it doesn't seem like that. i get the impression that it might be even the first time these two met. i could be wrong, don't know.
all i know is that marketing is a strange instrument
I wouldn't get too excited about Jeronimo lending his name as an endorsement for this guitar. I doubt if he had any input at all in the development of this model by the luthier Vassilis Lazarides. The hyped up marketing line of patter quoted by Ramzi above sounds just like any hyped up line of patter, particularly the line: "Vassilis only makes a very limited amount of these Jeronimo Maya flamenco guitars per year in his workshop. For those flamenco guitarists, who are looking for a unique authentic flamenco sound and professional playability."
You can be sure that Jeronimo left Vassilis a stack of labels with his signature to place in each guitar as it came off the production line. Of course, it will leave the impression that he personally approved each one.
