Vicente Carrillo blanca 2009 flamenco guitar:
On July 31th 1963, the Spanish luthier Vícente Carrillo was born in Casasimarro into a family that have been making guitars since the XVIII centuryIn 1755 Vicente his great-great grandfather had his own guitar workshop followed by his great grandfather Blas Carrillo Alarcón (1836-1919)followed by his grandfather Vicente Carrillo Lopez (1881-1962), followed by his father Vicente Carrillo Cantos (1926-1971). Vicente was only 8 years old when his father, unfortunately, passes away. Vicente his mother Gabriela Casas Fornier took over the shop, employing a number of master craftsmen, until 1980 when Vicente took the helm of the family business. Vicente has, literally, grown up among guitarsthe reason why it was never difficult for him to learn making high end guitars. Vicente learned the craft not only from the various luthiers working in their shop, but also from Angel Benito Aguado and Jose Romero with whom Vicente established a very good friendship, shared ideas to improve his guitars. Until today Vicente still builts his guitars entirely by hand, using traditional techniques. His construction is inspired by the design of Santos Hernandez (1873-1942), characterized by a nice, some kind of warmer sound with deep basses and sweet trebles.

For this new blanca form Vicente we selected really high quality woods, old aged st grade good sounding German spruce for the top, Spanish cypress for the back and the sides, a neck thickness of only 22mm which is not the standard one on many Carrillos, a nut with of 52mm and above all entirely finished in French polish.
