Good morrow chaps,
Yesterday a friend lent me his peghead negra for a couple of weeks. It is a corking guitar, very loud, and the pegs operate better than any other guitar I've ever played.
Acoording to the label inside, it was made in Seville in 1998 by J ALBERTO PANTOJA MARTIN, and I was wondering if any of you knew anything about this person/shop etc?
Cheers from sunny Hull,
Ted

Hello,
Could this be the same ? http://www.guitarraspantoja.com/index2.htm
Please tell us more about the guitar. What is a corking guitar ?
Regards
Antonio

Hola Antonio,
Thanks very much for that website address, that has to be the one! I reckon the guitar is one of their Concert Flamenco 1A models. I have just found an almost identical one for sale at www.zavaletas-guittars.com for $5,500 dollars!!! Have a look, sorry I can't do "links" I am still rubbish with computers!
What does "corking" mean? Sorry about the use of such a dumb word. What I meant was that the guitar has fabulous tone, volume ,and is very easy to play.
If $5500 is the going rate for a guitar like this, it is well over my budget! I hope I don't burst into tears when I have to give it back!

Hi,
The guitars are sold in Sevilla por €3000.
I don't know the import. taxes but $5500 seems too much.
Suerte!

Thanks for the replies chaps. Aren't computers wonderful? Yesterday I knew bugger all about this guitar, and today, thanks to Antonios link, I have had a virtual nosy around the workshop it was made in. As far as buying one goes, I am hoping to pop out to Spain in the next few months and visit Anders, with a view to go ing on his waiting list for a new negra.
