Arash! Thank you for commenting! hahaha. Did you read the "description" on the headstock picture? You know it is very funny, a couple of years ago I was walking out of a rehearsal in Mexico City, Centro de Tlalpan, a very colonial, very beautiful small little town right in the middle of the City full of bars and coffee shops. As I was walking through the plaza, I saw a guy with a flamenco guitar with a very similar headstock shape as I had just done when finishing my very first Handmade Guitar. That instantly drew me to check that guitar out! I talked to the guy (flamenco teacher), and arranged to take lessons from him. After a few days, while discussing youtube lessons, he told me he had taken lessons from Professor R. Diaz during his trip to Spain and he had sold him that guitar for 5000 euros. [8D] I could not believe it, since I had just returned to the city after spending time in Paracho, Michoacan, where I did my apprenticeship with a truly fine fine luthier - Carlos Hernandez. I wasn't long before we decided to put an end to the lessons and I soon learned through ForoFlamenco about Andalusian guitars. It is very unfortunate that those things happen in business, any. Ethics!!! And as for the design, I left my prototype headstock shaping for the very end, and is what I thought would resemble the landscapes of the desert and the "sirocco" winds. Aesthetics!!!? I showed my guitar to my client, and he liked it so much because he thought it was simple, yet different,(my same thoughts back then) that he requested that design. As I wrote above on the description, I would not like to be limited to ONE headstock design, and since have developed a couple more to be chosen by guitarists upon ordering. Arash, I promise that I will not use that particular design when you order a Custom Made Flamenca from me!! (unless you tell me so![;)]) And I promise it will only be 860 euros / 1100 USD with Rubner, Schaller or Gotoh Tuners, Including Custom Handmade Hardshell case, if you order your guitar now as a Special Intro Price. [;)][:D] really!!
