I feel the quality of any guitar, whether it is made by a factory or in a small shop, comes first when deciding to purchase it. After all, the guitar should speak for itself as an independent instrument, wherever it comes from. This is what makes guitars so much fun, not that we are so tied down in our thinking about a name label but that guitars are a breed unto themselves and have a mystery about them that transcends any particular maker who is conscientious about his work. Why, even good makers are subject to failure once in a while, even if they are known for quality. If we take the position that no factory guitars are worthy or that we have to have specific advertising for each guitar then we can kiss most of Spain's guitars off instead of enjoying them as individual art. Many of the well known Spanish houses, even the higher priced ones, don't make their guitars, factories do.
