You are absolutely correct Vasileos, it's Juan Miguel Carmona. Thing is his headstock is modelled on a Simplicio. Read it in a article a few minutes ago. Can you tell me what is the article you read? Is it online? The only thing I ever found about Juan Miguel Carmona is from the Zavaletas website. quote:
I'd be interested to know about your blanca, sound, playability etc? As to the sound and playability, these things can be so subjective. It's easy to play, action is great and the "pulsation" is strong- meaning it isn't as soft as say Condes and a Reyes I have played. I am sure this varies from guitar to guitar. It's loud and bright. I tried a Devoe once and it reminds me of that guitar, but a bit louder and definitely brighter (of course this is by memory and time changes everything). I have been playing a negra from a Granada luthier for a few years and it's also loud and bright, definitely not classical sounding. The Carmona blanca stands right up to it and is brighter being a blanca, but also has great basses. It's a great guitar. The body size is smaller like many Granada guitars are. I have never tried a Plazuelo or a Manuel Bellido. I have tried a Raya Pardo and a Jose Bellido, both were not as bright and punchy as my Carmona. The Carmona has a 12-hole bridge and an unusual shaped foot where the neck goes into the body on the inside. Hard to describe. The Carmona is not the lightest blanca I have ever picked up, more like a Conde. Hope this gives you some help in your quest for information. Good luck!
