RE: Francisco Barba's Estudio model (in reply to johnnefastis) Yep - I bought a negra estudio model last year from their workshop, still have it. I was after a blanca, and went to a few luthiers in Seville, didn't find
one that 'fitted' me, and Barba was my last stop. His blanca estudios were, to my ears, better than I found elsewhere,
but I still wasn't 100% sold. Then I asked if they had anything else, and he brought out the negra
studio model, and I nearly fell of the chair - amazing sound. They said it was a factory guitar, hand finished . I didn't delve much
deeper as to exactly where it was made (as if they would admit it ..),
as the most important thing for me was the sound, and how it felt to
play.  I paid 1400 EUR. Better value than any other guitar I tried up to 2400
EUR in Seville.                                                     

                                                      +++++

THIS COMMENT REFERS TO A STANDARD NEGRA ESTUDIO,
NOT COCOBOLO.
EXTENSIVE RESEARCH HAS NOT BROUGHT UP ANY COMPARABLEMODEL ON THE MARKET - EVER.
HAND FINISHED BY THE MASTER.
WE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT A BARGAIN HERE. THE SOUND IS
IN FACT RIGHT UP THERE.
