Tom Blackshear -> RE: encounter with Manuel Reyes hijo (Jun. 26 2013 17:03:15)

This is certainly well worth noting, that no maker will sound exactly like a Reyes, anymore than Paco Lucia's music, played by another guitarist, will sound exactly like Paco. With guitar building technology today, most any educated builder will make a fine instrument worth its price. But when all guitars are basically balanced with everything in its place, then it's the voice that compels us. BTW, I don't think you can beat a Navarro guitar, price per quality, with his current building practice. I would like to see him use a more perfect bridge shape for his Reyes model but aside from that polite suggestion, I have no criticisms at all.
