gerundino63 -> RE: Did Gerundino really make his guitars from Mid 90's up until his passing? (Sep. 7 2019 9:10:51)

I remember a story from Eric Vaarzon Morel, a flamenco guitarist from Holland. He told me he visited Gerundino in 2000, he had still some guitars to sell. Also, it is known, that Juan Miguel Gonzales helped Gerundino finishing a few guitars, Gonzalez “atmitted” it in an interview “flamencoguru” alias Errol Putigna made. So, most likely, Gerundino had some unfinished guitars after 1997, and had them finished by others. Put a label in, signed and stamped it. At least, you know more or less what you buy or not. If you want a Gerundino not for resale, go for an old one. It is a totally different guitar than the newer Gerundino’s. The old ones are extremely dry and pecussive, the newer ones are bigger and heavier, so long sustain less percussive.
