Sergio Valverde Castillo is the recent luthier winner of the First Prize of the "Antonio Marin Montero" guitar makers contest held in Granada, Spain in 2017.
What should a guitar have to be chosen as a winner by an expert jury made up of prestigious luthiers and professional guitarists?
What should an artisan do to be worthy of a prize in this category and be chosen as the best luthier?
Well the magic ... that some artisans look for a lifetime and they do not get it, and yet others, they imbue it in their guitars almost from the beginning, with the naturalness of their work and the only help of their hands.
This flamenco guitar Blanca (cypress) has all the essence of his best work. The simplicity of its appearance further amplifies its constructive beauty.
And it has what the jury has called so much attention, the magic of its sound, the beauty of its tone, a long sustain and a response like the best flamenco handmade guitars.
A very easy-playing guitar of excellent construction and with all the flavor of the best traditional flamenco sound, from the hands of the recent winner of the prestigious guitar makers contest.
