Interesting.. Couldnt find that much info on him or any photos of his guitars online, but I read about him in a couple of lifestyle books. I'm under the impression that he is a world renowned maker of classical guitars. :D Do you know where I can find any details about the guitars he makes, or do I have to speak with him personally for that?

Yung teacher ng brother ko ito and recommended na classical guitar. May sasalihan kasing competetion bro ko. I think its NAMCYA. Tapos sabi ng teacher niya around 50k daw ang kailangan na budget? Baka po may suggestion kayo kung ano kunin namin? Budget namin sana is not more than 50k. Sabi Cubao daw ang shop nila? Tama po ba?

I totally agree. I own a Derecho Guitar made from Cherry Wood from several years back and it's still the best guitar I have ever owned. He makes it with his own hands so he only has a few guitars at one time. When I bought mine, he only had 3 guitars in his shop. His name does not show up much in magazines and online but when you talk to guitar majors in conservatories they will tell you that he's the best. I'm thinking about getting his Rosewood guitar. Could anyone message me his full address and updated contact numbers please? I don't have it anymore since I got my guitar ages ago... Thanks.

Reviving this thread...

Would anyone know if he is still active, and the exact location and/or other means to contact?

Thanks.
