2007 Juan Miguel Gonzalez Flamenco Negra Brazilian/German
Here we have an exceptional 2007 Flamenco guitar by Luthier Juan Miguel Gonzalez. Built from Brazilian Rosewood and Spruce this Flamenco has a little more complexity of tone than its cypress-bodied brethren. the bass strings are stout and full while the mids through trebles are punchy, but still maintain a sweet tone. This Flamenco has been equipped with Fustero geared tuners, eliminating any fussing around with friction pegs, which is a welcome convenience in our book.

This is a fantastic Gerundino Flamenca Blanca built and co-labeled by Juan Miguel Gonzalez, one of the elite contemporary makers of Flamenco guitars in Spain–and we believe the very last Gerundino guitar ever built! Juan Miguel Gonzalez‘ father was a well known Flamenco guitar maker in Almeria and was responsible for teaching both the late Gerundino and Gonzalez the art of Flamenco guitar luthiership.
Gonzalez had secretly been making a few guitars for Gerundino under his label, but when his own guitars became highly acclaimed, he focused on his own line. Paco Pena requested a set of two guitars from Gerundino (a Spruce and Cedar top) around 2005, knowing that Gerundino’s health was failing and it might be his last chance. Gonzalez was commissioned to make them. A dealer from Los Angeles was visiting at the time, and asked Gonzalez if he would make a duplicate set. For those two guitars–a Spruce top No.1 and a Cedar top No.2–Gonzalez added his label to Gerundino’s. To build them, Gonzalez used an amazing set of “Violeta” Spanish Cypress from his father’s original collection. The harmonics of this Flamenco Blanca are unbelievable–muy flamenco.

Miguel González began in the construction of guitars in 1935, not existing in those days in Almeria any craftsman dedicated to this profession of worship. For this reason the best guitarrists of that time passed by his workshop. Miguel González was contemporary of Hermanos Moya, guitar-makers from Almería who learned the work from Antonio de Torres, allowing his indisputable mastery to lay the bases of a solid guitar tradition in Almería.
The conductive thread of this tradition it is gathered by his son Juan Miguel González, who began from very young in this craftsmen’s careful trade in the workshop of his father, getting in the exciting world of the construction of the Spanish Guitar and extending the handcrafted legacy of his progenitor. In his work combine masterfully craft, innovation, technology, research, dedication and care; and in the noble materials, wood and tails specially selected, the refined and the high acoustic sound level.
