After three years, he established his own workshop in the heart of Madrid, quickly earning a reputation as one of Spain’s finest and most innovative luthiers.
One of his most significant contributions to guitar design was the “Double Top” model, introduced in 1974, which resulted from extensive experimentation aimed at enhancing tone, volume, and projection. This innovative design was met with immediate acclaim in the professional guitar community.
