RE: Your Favorite Three Guitar Makers (in reply to estebanana)

Hmm..its not so simple

Out of respect Id have to say in terms of history

Antonio de Torres (for revolutionizing the guitar)
Santos Hernandez (for revolutionizing flamenco)
The Conde Brothers (for Paco's negras back in the day)

but atm from what Ive heard Glenn Canin's negras are almost surreal and I'd have to factor him in with the Spaniards

also Francisco Navarro deserves some credit for selling world class guitars to the starving artists

I almost forgot the most important innovator of all time Ziryab of Baghdad

I wonder what an original Ziryab would go for these days

What about Lester de Voe? Seems to become a legend.
Mardid-sounding git's: Ricardo Sanchis Carpio' latest models (RSC, not the f.extra) - you will hardly find a better sounding conde
Granada: Bellido (Jose and Manuel)
