“Many years ago I had played jazz and folk guitar for a long time, taking jazz lessons for over 7 years, but when I was completing my dissertation I had to stop the guitar and had not touched one for over 2 decades. I went online to find a guitar center near me.
I did not want to purchase an unknown guitar online without holding it, feeling it, and getting a sense of the quality and tone. Before meeting Eduardo at Guitars From Spain I had visited a different guitar shop, received no service, and had a judgemental attitude that I should choose a small guitar (even though I knew the sound quality would be lessened) because of my body type. Reluctantly, they finally let me “touch” the small guitar and with even more resistance they finally let me hold one of their larger guitars. They explained nothing about the quality of their guitars, whether they were real cedar or laminated fake wood. I would not trust their judgment on what type of guitar I should buy. So it was with pure delight that I contacted Eduardo. I wanted to love my guitar the way I had loved my old Segovia guitar from Spain so many years ago. Eduardo offered me the information, insights, assistance, and support I needed to make a wise choice. When I arrived in his home -studio he had 5 guitars ready for me to touch, play and get a feel for. I knew immediately which one felt perfect for me. Eduardo sat with me and explained carefully the different qualities of guitars and how they are made. He showed me a video of a factory in Spain where my guitar was hand-crafted. And then he insisted I have a free guitar lesson to create good habits from the start. Now, a week later, I am thrilled with my guitar, slowly practicing scales and chords and restoring my memory of what it feels like to strum my songs.” Boca Raton
