Manuel Contreras Sr. was born in Madrid in 1926 and joined the Ramirez workshop as a master luthier in 1959. Contreras built the first José Ramirez guitar, which Andrés Segovia bought in 1960. After three years with Ramirez, Contreras opened Manuel his own guitar workshop in the center of Madrid. He soon gained a reputation as one of the best and most innovative guitar makers in Spain.
His son Pablo Manuel Contreras (1957-2011) later joined him and also became a renowned guitar maker. The magazine Orfeo No. 3 honors both of them in an excellent and very detailed article.
