RE: Garrido Dailem or Real Musical (... (in reply to Lima daMata Flamenca)

Garrido and Real Musical were/are both retail music stores in Madrid. Garrido is no longer in business and Real Musical is part of a chain that is also in the publishing business. Neither of them actually made or make guitars but rather bought production instruments from various manufacturers (mostly from the Valencia area) and put in their own labels. It's a very common practice in Spain. That doesn't necessarily mean that they're bad guitars but they generally aren't anything special.
At one time the late Madrid luthier Vicente Camacho made guitars for Garrido but these guitars had his name on the label in addition to that of Garrido.
