About:

I began making guitars in 1972 while working as an advertising copywriter to support my family. Over the years I have made copies of guitars by makers whom I admire: Robert Bouchet, Santos Hernandez, Hernandez & Aguado, Ignacio Fleta.

Each of my copies had good qualities, as the people who own them will testify. But I thought they could be improved. Occasionally I would hear or play a really outstanding guitar – a Simplicio, a Miguel Rodriguez, a Manuel Reyes, a Jeronimo Fernandez Pena for instance. If I could, I would examine these guitars to find out what made them excel. Most have roughly similar fan-shaped bracing patterns. My thinking was that this type of bracing is not ideal for the efficient production of sound. I concluded that it must be the maker who adds something to the sound by the way he builds.
