Juan Miguel Álvarez del Olmo, born in Madrid in 1960, is the son of Juan Álvarez Gil (1932–2001), a close friend of Marcelo Barbero, from whose advice he gained invaluable insights.

Juan Miguel began working alongside his father in 1977. With a B.A. in Aeronautical Engineering, his approach to guitar making is uniquely methodical. He pays meticulous attention to the guitar’s geometry and the consistency of materials, all with the goal of achieving a sound that strikes the perfect balance between basses and trebles, flawless intonation, and exceptional playability.

This guitar is a testament to his craftsmanship—beautifully balanced with the power, push, rasp, and comfortable setup that professional flamenco guitarists demand.
