José Ruiz Pedregosa (b. 1958) is the only disciple of the Spanish luthier Jerónimo Peña Fernández whose guitars are played by such great flamenco players as Monolo Sanlucar, Manolo Escobar, and Enrique Montoya. He is among the leading flamenco guitar makers in Anadalucia. José's guitars offer an authentic full-bodied flamenco sound that I would compare to a Gerundino--geart volume and projection. This flamenca negra is a wonderful instrument, very balanced, with rich full basses, polished lyrical trebles, and a great flamenco rasp and growl
