The Romero Collection - 2001 Blochinger

As we approach our June 1st event with Scott Tennant playing those guitars from the Romero collection that have most inspired luthier Pepe Romero Jr. (who will present and tell us about the guitars at the event), we thought it would be fun to show off some of Felix Salazar’s amazing photography of these guitars. Pepe Jr. was kind enough to bring them all in so that Felix could do his thing, and the result is just gorgeous. We’re starting with a 2001 Edmund Blochinger – the youngest guitar of the bunch and the only one made by a luthier alive today (very much alive, I should say).

Pepe Jr. says that the guitar has very deep basses and clear, singing trebles, and that it is a sweet guitar with a lot of power. He also says that Blochinger’s immaculate craftsmanship and aesthetic style inspire him.
