This Granada based luthier is one of the top up-and-coming makers from Andalucia. Pepe and Celin Romero have recently acquired several of his instruments and expect to see several more top players playing them in the future. This flamenca negra guitar has three piece beautiful back made of Indian rosewood. The Hauser style hand engraved Rubner tuners. Rafael tells me that he lent this guitar to his good friend Pepe Habichuela  to do a concert. Unfortunately, Pepe put a couple of nail marks on the top. Although Rafael has polished over them, and they are barely visible,  if one knows where to look, they can be discerned. Consequently, we have discounted this guitar by several hundred dollars. This is one of the strongest flamenca negras to come through in a long time. It has a wonderful voice, great color, trebles that strike out, basses that are firm and crisp, and true flamenco rasp.
