I discovered Rafael Romero Barroso on a recent trip to Spain. Born in 1963 in the province of Cadiz, this Spanish luthier was a professional flamenco guitarists before he found his true vocation as a guitar maker. As a luthier, Rafael brings the sensibilities of a professional guitarists to his craft. The model 1 E is an handmade flamenca guitar made using made with the highest quality materials. This handmade flamenco guitar is beautifully crafted, and offers a bright, raucous, flamenco sound with great rasp and burn. It has great crisp, deep basses, a rich vibrant mid-range, and trebles to die for. Rafael really know how to set up a flamenco guitar, so it is a joy to play.
