I really don't want to open a can of worms again, but... I'm on Facebook and a mexican luthier marked me as friend. He's name is Gerardo Escobedo. He recently posted 2 pictures that say more than words..

he has some guitars for sale at La Sonanta with the same bridge, but different headstock, I guess the ones he makes with this headstock are made for sale in "Andalusia"
Indeed, i didn't say he was enthusiastic about it , but the fact is he let himself be recorded while playing it.
My guess is he knows this is going to go on the Internet, and Ruben knows how big of an impact a Name can have on an individual due to the symbolic nature of the way we view things.
Im thinking of going out for some tapas tonight. Maybe get some cool ranch dorrito taco supremes, some bean burritos with guacamole, some mild sauce and maybe a few tintos of modelo extra
hahahaha hilarious! money and free/discounted guitars, the biggest endorsement is if they actually play it regularly in their concerts anyway.. can someone correct me but at around 3:20 mins when paco starts to be filmed back on the beach....take a close look......headstock...could it be?

could be - I think there's a photo somewhere of Ruben with Paco and one of these guitars. He probably gave, or tried to give, Paco one of these guitars, probably tried to film him playing it like he did with Antonio Rey. (But Paco was too smart, all Ruben managed to get was a photo, and Paco's lawyers stopped him from using it) So Paco probably had one of these guitars..... Did Paco play it on any recordings? No. Did Paco play it in any concerts? No. Did he keep it in a case like all his other great guitars? No. What did he do with it? used it as his "beater" - messed around with it on the beach, tried surfing on it, eventually put it on the fire and cooked some fish over it - all it was good for
