Arash -> Hermanos Sanchis Lopez Closed?! (Oct. 20 2025 20:00:04)
|
Didn't realize they closed doors this year.
Couldn't find anything with the search function (does the search function even work properly?)
Anyways, at least I own a good one. But sad to see. They made some good guitars.
Went to their website and read this:

Official statement.
Closure of the company Guitarras Hnos. Sanchis López.
Dear friends and customers,
It is very hard for us to have to write these lines today, with a mixture of gratitude and sadness, to announce to you from Guitarras Hermanos Sanchis López, sons of Ricardo Sanchis Carpio, that after 110 years of history, hundreds of friendships, and thousands of stories lived alongside all of you, we have to permanently close our workshop. A family and artisan workshop that has been part of our lives and the community for many decades. This has been one of the most difficult decisions we have had to make, especially from a sentimental perspective, since for us the workshop has always been an extension of our father, and that has been the main reason why we have tried to prolong this difficult decision that we knew would come sooner or later. However, after a long process of reflection, we understand that it is time to close this chapter.
Over the years, we've had the privilege of your trust, constant support, and affection, which has been the very essence of who we are. We've always said that we didn't just build guitars as a business; for us, it was something deeper. Seeing how an instrument we'd built with our own hands managed to make you happy has always given us great satisfaction. For us, you've always been much more than just customers; you've been a fundamental part of our history and have allowed us to grow and learn day after day.
Unfortunately, we've been seeing sales decline for some time now, but it's not just us. We know that the guitar world, not just classical and flamenco guitar, is suffering increasingly worldwide. Rising costs—including energy, taxes, labor, and materials—low demand for artists, the economic hardship affecting us all, the changing interests of generations, and the limited profit margin—have all been the triggers for this closure. For that reason, we leave with a clear conscience, knowing that we have done everything possible to ensure the continued existence of our legacy.
Although this closure marks the end of an era in our lives, we want to assure you that we will always carry with us the memories and legacy of everything we've experienced. And, of course, our gratitude to all of you, who have been key to our journey.
