When I was down there I asked Juan if he had any Gerundinos or Rehes, and he told me the story, he (Clapton) knowing they are the most souight after flamencos, and him having the money, Its understandable he bought the lot, I bet they never get properly played, most good players I have met, play on crap guitars, because to be good, means playing all day, meaning you are either unemployed, or if professionel, earning a meager income, and £8000 for a guitar is out of most peoples budget, the best guitars in the world, sit in bank vaults or hoarded in someone collection, and never get played, or sent to Japan, where they are pulled to pieces, in an effort to copy the structure. Another little story Juan told me, was the Earl of Westminster, I think thats his title, anyway he is the richest bloke in the country, owns most of London, he's wife came in and would only spend £100 for her daughters classical guitar.
