2007 Antonio Raya Pardo "Blanca" SP/CY

Although born in Jaen, luthier Antonio Raya Pardo has lived in Granada since childhood, and until his unfortunate recent passing, was one of the most important names in the Granada school of guitar making. After establishing his own workshop in the early 1970s, he went on to become a prolific maker. With nearly 600 guitars under his belt, Raya Pardo was certainly one of the more experienced luthiers of his time.
