Allow me to add some luthiers for Spanish classic guitars

Conde Brothers : http://www.condehermanos.com/

Alberto Martín: http://albertomartinluthier.com/

René Aguilera: https://reneaguilera.com/

Manuel Contreras: http://www.manuelcontreras.com/

I have a Manuel Contreras classical guitar I bought in Madrid about 45 years ago; if I recall correctly, it cost me about $150. I can't imagine what a guitar like that would cost me today.

Depending on the wood anywhere from a few thousand to ten thousand and up. Really nice to see you still have it that many years later.

Aguilera might want to use their own site from time to time, seeing that the links in the middle of the page point to localhost:8888

"Works on my machine"

If we're talking about innovation in guitar making, I think that the more relevant classical luthiers are Matthias Dammann and Greg Smallman.

One of Somogyi's former students, Luis Fernández de Córdoba. Traditional, but not so much as seen here:

Multi-scale 7 string classical:

10-string classical:

I would add Teuffel to that list, too: http://www.teuffel.com/

I've been following Sacha Dunable from Dunable Guitars for a while and I've been really impressed with the kind of guitars he's been putting out recently.

Thanks for the turn on! I like the Strandbergs!
