We met Schneider at Juan Pimentel's shop in Mexico City some time in the mid-1960s. Schneider was paying Pimentel to teach him guitar making. We went there to meet Pimentel, but on the first try, Schneider monopolized the conversation, telling us his plans to revolutionize the guitar. Pimentel kept working, as he always did, but occasionally raised his eyebrows or rolled his eyes at some statement by Schneider. We went back that evening, still hoping to talk to Pimentel, but again, no dice. Los Tres Reyes, then perhaps the most popular Spanish language musicians in the world, were at his shop. Pimentel was doing a little setup work on one of their guitars he had made. The next day we finally got to talk to Pimentel. Modest, taciturn, friendly, highly skilled and scrupulously honest, a wonderful guy. Over the next 20 years I ordered and picked up quite a few guitars from him for friends in Texas, ranging from student models to masterpieces. RNJ
