Juan Miguel González is widely recognized as one of the greatest living flamenco guitar makers. Born in Almería in 1947, he learned the art of luthiery from his father, Miguel González Abad (1906–1989), who had apprenticed with the Moya brothers—close friends of the legendary Antonio Torres. Juan Miguel’s guitars possess a unique duende that professional flamenco players seek and cherish. His distinguished clientele includes renowned artists such as Tomatito, Norberto Torres, Manolo Franco, Carlos Piñana, and El Niño de la Manola.
This particular guitar represents his top-level model. While I could go on about its flawless flamenco setup or the sheer level of craftsmanship, it can all be summed up in one word—WOW!
