JUST came back from my local Sam Ash Music store (here in Columbus, Ohio USA) and saw they had one used Manuel Rodriguez e Hijos accoustic guitar for sale for $500 - MADE IN MADRID it said on the inside. COOOOOOL! I was REALLY tempted to buy it but passed since mine is still in decent shape and I'm still a beginner. They also had a Alhambra brand - Made In Spain - for $600 (or $700).

By the way, on the Manuel Rodriguez e Hijos website there's a short video of artesans making the guitars.

Time to practice!! Saludos, MadridMan
