My friends
A friend in need is a friend indeed
And I’m lucky enough to have some real gems. This section is dedicated to those friends and collaborators who, with their talent, support, and love, have been part of my journey as a guitar maker. Artists, musicians, artisans, and great people who have trusted my work, inspired me, and left their mark on every shared project. Because this craft isn’t made alone: it’s woven with mutual understanding, with guitars that speak, and hands that add. To all of them, a heartfelt thank you.
José Luis Rodríguez
José Luis Rodríguez, the sadly deceased guitarist from Huelva, was much more than a musical maestro: he was a generous soul who opened the doors of his home and his heart to me. With infinite kindness, he shared his wisdom and vision with me, offering advice and feedback on my early creations, always with respect and affection. Today, I offer a prayer for him, knowing that he already accompanies the greatest in heaven with his guitar. May God rest you in his glory, maestro.
Pepe "Del Morao"
Grandson of the great Manuel Morao, Pepe del Morao is much more than a guitarist: he is the heir to one of the most profound families of Jerez flamenco. He trained at home and also expanded his education at the Carbonero school, consolidating a solid foundation that is reflected today in his own elegant and soulful sound.
For me, having his friendship and support is a true honor. His art and humility inspire, and his guitar always leaves a lasting impression.
Paco Cepero
Master of masters. A soulful guitarist, legendary composer, and essential figure in the art of flamenco. Don Paco Cepero is a living legend in our music, a figure who has influenced generations with his unmistakable touch and infinite wisdom.
Being close to him is a gift, a privilege that leaves a lasting impression. His presence, like his music, is pure truth…
Javier Castaño
My teacher and mentor. Javier Castaño, a renowned luthier and a leading figure in the world of flamenco guitar, has been truly important in my journey as a guitar maker. I will always be deeply grateful for his generosity, his patience, and the unconditional love with which he passed on his knowledge to me. From him I learned not only techniques, but also the respect and passion that this noble profession deserves.
Thank you, teacher, for teaching me from the heart!
Salvador Rinquín
To speak of Salvador Rinquín is to speak of deep gratitude. I don’t know where to start, because his support has been —and continues to be— fundamental in making this dream a reality. Salva is not just a friend, he is a universe in which I nourish, learn and grow. His guitar has that traditional flavor that is so rare today, with a very personal touch reminiscent of the greats of the 80s: authentic, full of soul. Having him around, sharing paths and chords with him, is a privilege that I hold as one of the most valuable treasures of my life.
Alberto Fernandez
The road to becoming a guitarist hasn’t been easy, but all this effort is taking shape and I’m reaping the rewards. Among them, I have friends like my admired Alberto Fernández, whom I have followed for a very long time.
I can assure you that I feel fulfilled when I reach this level of friendship. He is a true guitarist, one of those whose personality and feelings leave a deep mark through his music.
Thank you very much, MY FRIEND.
