marc55 -> banus guitars (Feb. 4 2007 22:55:46)

ok - here's a challenge. I bought a guitar in Athens 2 years ago - as a holiday knock about- the man in the shop said it was spanish made. Sounded quite sweet for the price (130 euros) and it's solid enough - it has a truss rod, spruce or pine top and laminate rosewood back and sides, the bridge is glued and screwed on - I know this as a screw came lose within a day and that nice man in the shop screwed it back on!. It has a very high saddle but low enough action, similar to an old taiwanese guitar I once owned. Can anybody help find out where it was made (country, manufacturer etc)? I'm just curious but I hate not knowing about my own guitars - it's probably chinese! Anyway it's a 'Banus' model scg-08 - all info welcome.

It might be a Jorge Banus Lopez Flamenco Guitar, which was made in Mexico.

Nothing that fancy I fear - I think the name comes from Puerto banus near malaga - but I don't think that's where it's made - a lot of guitars from the far east take Spanish sounding names - maybe I'm wrong.

No Mexico man. Banus spanish guitars was made in Spain, in Benetuser, Alicante. I own #105.

If it has "Benetuser" on the label as well then it may be from Valenecia as there were guitar makers there called
Banus and IbaƱez

I've never heard of Banus guitars before - I can't remember any recent mentions of them on the forum - what are the chances of two threads popping up regarding these guitars within hours of eachother????
