Blondie#2 -> Pedro Maldonado - father vs sons quality/reputation (Jun. 26 2015 7:44:58)

Hi folks

I understand than Pedro Snr retired in the nineties and his two sons took over. I am guessing that hits the price tag of guitars built by the father, but is there any consensus as to whether quality had been maintained by the sons and whether the two sons build comparable guitars etc?

I've only had one Maldonado senior in my workshop. It had one of the sides upside down, but strangely, this didn't detract from it at all. It was a very handsome instrument with an excellent finish, and a clean lively sound. Top quality as you might expect.

More recently, I've seen a couple of the cheaper models- (which may have been bought in, who knows?) and these were not good value imo.
I have no knowledge of the sons personal work I'm afraid.

I've played a few 1a, five or six of the father and three or four of the sons, (though now I can't remember which guitar was from which son). I found them to be comparable in finish, construction and playability as for sound; different guitars had different qualities but not necessarily better or worse, some I preferred the father some from the son. As usual one has to evaluate a guitar on it's merits not just by the name on the label (and evaluate oneself, not over rely on anyone else's opinion). As you say market value of the father is more.

OK thanks for your views both.
