Jose Pena Fernandez (b. 1933) is a well-known luthier in particular flamenco circles, but is also well respected for his classical guitars. Jeronimo Peña Fernandez, who is among the few luthiers to whom Luis F. Leal Pinar devotes an entire chapter in "Guitarreros de Andalucia" (2004) is now semi-retired, and no longer exports, although he continues to build instruments for collectors. He is also trained Jose Ruiz Pedregosa. This guitar has been used by played so bears the usual signs of wear and use: some nail marks from over zealous rasqueados, an e-string burn, a few minor dings. There is enough bone in the saddle so that the action can be lowered further if so desired. The neck is straight, there are no cracks, nor does the guitar require any repairs.
