Ok, I woke up this morning and a little bell was ringing. I´m only 98% sure, so please dont hang me. Its some 4 - 5 years ago since I was in contact with the Bellidos. Martin la Bella is a fictive name. He doesn´t exist. Its a project and they choosed the name because its easy to recognize. I think I know who might be making the guitars (Juan), but it could be someone else or things might have changed. Its very Spanish, you see it other places. The best example is the famous Hermanos Conde, where you wont know who has made the guitars. Also in many shops they change the names on the label to their own name. Actually I think its illigal and against EU consumer laws. I think we have a right to know who made our products. So maybe Condes should say: Made in Valencia by Sanchiz or the ones making them now. Never mind, If you like a guitar, its a good guitar and if you dont mind the storys, go for a wrong label one. The problem is that if you order it without trying it, it could be made by someone else but with the same label on, this way you would be buying a completely different product without knowing. I´m pretty sure you all know what I think about these stories, but if you want to know more about Martin La Bella, you could contact Manuel, Jesus or Miguel Angel Bellido and ask them. You can use my information, but please keep me out of this. I´m not into storys and I like reality the way it is.
