RE: Can anyone identify this luthier? (in reply to edguerin)
The luthier is Arturo Sanzano. Operating out of Madrid/Toledo he's a former Ramirez employee.

Altho not as common as Condes or Pedro de Miguels, these guitars are played by Oscar Herrero, Jose Manuel Montoya, Serranito and Arcadio Marin. Sanzano left Ramirez to focus on his own designs. I like the look of them, apparently based on French Grobet guitars according to one website I found. They have a very crisp and focused tone from the Youtube clips I've seen.
