Juan Miguel Gonzalez is fast becoming one of the most sought-after flamenco builders in Spain. Many famous flamencos play his guitars, including Tomatito and Manolo Franco.

This is a bright, powerful blanca, made from beautiful woods with a traditional rose rosette.

These guitars retail for $9000 upwards in the U.S. and around €5000-6000 in Europe, so this price for a near-mint example is superb value.

Juan worked with Gerundino and completed many of his later instruments; and although Juan’s own guitars differ from Gerundino’s their quality guarantees that Juan will become one of the most important living flamenco luthiers in Spain, alongside Manuel Reyes and Francisco Barba.
