El Kiko -> RE: Is this wrong? (Jun. 5 2012 12:52:04)

as I said before the big problem is the label and signature and stamp etc ....one can buy designs of many guitars , even online like Ignatio Fleta , jose Romanillos , etc.. and then a good luthier could make a nice guitar from them with high quality materials ... So the Guitar itself is not the problem ., in fact reading about it I think it is probably a very good guitar , and will sound as well flamenco .. So if I were the luthier that made it I would actually want my name inside it to say ''Look how good my work is..I can copy a masters guitar and make it everybit as good ' ' so my own designs would carry some weight and credibility .. .. surely..... So the reason for forging a label , is very suspect , going to all that effort and having the guitar with no maker ,... it just smells bad ...... Its a type of art fraud , even though it is declared ... I can paint a picture , in a certain style , but only if I sign it Leonardo da Vinci , at that point I have crossed the line .... We also know that all this was in the head of the luthier when building , is it right or wrong ?/ Further more it also begs the question are there other luthiers out there who have made guitars in the style of a maker and with a label and sent it through the market as the real deal... I for one would not know , assuming it was high quality .... there are a lot of other things to be considered as well once you start thinking of its implications .........
