Granada’s Palacio de Gomerez was host on the 19th of October to the presentation of the new 40th anniversary model by Juan Miguel Carmona. One of the founders of the “official” Escuela Granadina de Guitarreros, Juan Miguel has been a part of the Granada guitar-making and flamenco scene since his father (a french polisher of guitars) sent him to the workshop of Manuel Bellido at the tender age of 14. The guitar was the star of the evening although also present were guitar-makers Francisco Manuel Díaz and his son Francis, José López Bellido, Juan Manuel García as well as Dr. Erhard Hanen and supportive friends and family.
