Nice one, I visited Paracho in 2002 and was really only just going to have a look not really buying. A friend told me about Abel Garcia Lopez guitars and gave me the address so I rocked up to his house and spent the best part of an afternoon with him checking out his workshop and meeting the family. When I asked him if he had any good guitars to show me he said no, only ones he was building, after a while he gave me a lower quality instrument that his brother makes to sell in the shop to try. When he realized i could play a bit he pulled out a guitar which he said belonged to Pepe Romero that he was repairing and let me try it,. WOW.. I couldn't believe how good this guitar was, "this is the sound I've always wanted!" I thought to myself.... So, the only logical thing to do was put my name on the waiting list, and 12 months later it arrives from Mexico via Fedex on the doorstep here in Australia. The guitar is amazing, very happy with the purchase. I Posted the clip on youtube of me playing Pepe's Axe, sorry all... it's not flamenco!! , but if your interested here is the link, sorry re the bad sound as recorded on cheap Kodak digital camera.
