Santos Hernandez
(1874-1943) was one the guitar great makers of the early 20th century to
come out of the shop of Manuel Ramirez. He is credited with being
the maker of the 1912 Manuel Ramirez that Segovia played until 1938.
After Manuel Ramirez died, he worked for Manuel's widow until 1918,
where upon he opened his own shop on the calle Atocha. Under his own
name between 1916-1943, he made some 300 classical and flamenco guitars. This guitar made
by Santos Hernandez in 1940 for the countess Josefina Locateli, in whose possession it remained
until 2004.
Overall this concert classical guitar is in remarkable
condition. There are no cracks or repairs, it still has its original
French polish. This rare guitar is great
instrument, would be a wonderful addition to any collection.
