In 2005 we spent a whole week in Següenza, Spain close to Madrid to document the construction of a guitar he finished for his friend and luthier Josep Melo in Barcelona. This is right from the workbench. Spanish “Guitar Making” at its best.
In the second part José shows how to select good from bad spruce. Custom Guitar Video shows why it is good to stick to tradition, instead of reinventing the wheel. José is one of the most humble luthiers we have ever met. Enjoy.
José Romanillos became famous by building the guitars for Classical Guitar Virtuoso Julian Bream. He his one of the last icons in Spanish guitar making tradition. He wrote numerous books about the Spanish guitar and the man who defined the classical guitar as we know it today, Antonio de Torres.
