Arcangel Fernandez 1958

This flamenco guitar was built in 1958 by luthier Arcángel Fernández. He is considered one of the best luthiers in history and his guitars are very hard to come by, as many of them were bought by collectors from Japan. His guitars are admired by luthiers, collectors and guitarists all over the world.

He was born in 1932 and began his career as a carpenter. In 1954, he met the great guitar maker Marcelo Barbero, who was considered the best guitar maker in Madrid at the time and had worked with Santos Hernández. Barbero and Fernández are equally impressive figures in the world of guitar making. Arcángel Fernández's work as a guitar maker, for example, is at the heart of the typical modern flamenco guitar. Many consider him to be the father of the modern flamenco guitar!

Fernández founded a store together with Manuel Rodríguez, which also sold a range of instruments from other renowned guitar makers. In 1959, Marcelo Barbero's son joined him and they worked together for 40 years.

Fernández's reputation spread quickly and he became one of the world's greatest guitar makers. Later in his career, Fernández, who made an average of eight guitars a year, had to stop taking orders for his instruments because the waiting list had become too long. Today, his beautiful creations are revered and he is highly regarded for what he has achieved in the field of musical instrument making.
