I had recently decided to learn to play the  guitar but was wasn’t sure I could. I  fractured my left wrist a few years ago, limiting my flexibility.  On a visit to my daughter in Boca Raton, I phoned Eduardo Macadar of Guitars for Spain. He is a very friendly and enthusiastic person and thought he had some guitars that might fit the bill. I drove over and he had already put out an assortment of several guitars, all different from each other. I listened to him play them all, then tried them all myself to evaluate the comfort, fit and sound.  I absolutely fell in love with the Paco Castillo 233 cutaway, narrow body Flamenco guitar with electric option available.   I had not considered a guitar like this at all, but it was very  light and just felt incredibly comfortable, so I bought it.  It was a pleasure to deal with Eduardo.  There was never any pressure and he always  patiently and completely answered my many questions. He also gave me some very valuable pointers in posture and hand position.   I asked if he would mind moving up to New Jersey to be my teacher but shoveling snow did not appeal to him. I may have to move to Boca.  For now I plan on taking one or more lessons from him whenever I visit.   Rich Anscher
