Santos Bayon Ruiz is the grand nephew of Santos Hernandez, the luthier who built Segovia's 1912 Manuel Ramirez guitar, and whose flamenco guitars where used by almost all of the major players of his day. Santos Bayon continues to work in Santos Hernandez actual workshop which he inherited from his father, Feliciano Bayon, a talented guitar maker in his own right. The family not only has inherited the workshop, but some of his great uncle's guitars which he has obviously studied very closely. The set up is comfortable. This guitar's label is signed and dated 1973. The instrument is in excellent condition. The owner reports it has no cracks nor needs any repairs. Please note this guitar is currently in Spain and priced in EUROS accordingly. It comes with a hard case.
