2011 Jose Gonzalez Lopez SP/IN

Jose Gonzalez Lopez shares workshop space with both Antonio Marin Montero and Jose Marin Plazuelo (his brother-in-law) in their legendary taller on cuesta del Caidero in Granada, Spain, where he has been since starting his apprenticeship in 1989. His instruments therefore have a very similar feel and style of build to what has become known as the "Granada style". The sound is very robust, with a rich "creamy" quality, and has a nice quick, bouncy responsiveness, a characteristic found in the best of the southern Spanish instruments. Being a used instrument the guitar has some minor signs of wear in the finish but no damage or repairs and is in fine, concert-ready condition.
