Juan Montero Aguilera Coral Spruce Concert 2008 flamenco guitar. Juan Montero Aguilera was born in Marchena, Seville on 14 December 1929. Like many guitarreros, Juan Montero was a cabinet-maker before he established himself as a self-taught guitar maker in Cordoba in 1960. In his work he has been influenced by Santos Hernández, Arcángel Fernández and Miguel Rodriguez Beneyto. The reputation of Juan Montero is so high that Luis F. Leal Pinar devotes an entire chapter in "Guitarreros de Andalucia" (2004) to him. The list of professional guitarists using his guitars speaks for itself: Juan Serrano, Paco de Lucia, Paco Cepero, Vicente Amigo, Paco de Gastor, Eloy de Diego, José Luis Postigo, Manolo Dominguez, Pepe Morales, Juan Muñez El Tomate, Rafael Riqueni, Antonio de Patrocinio, Antonio Romero Pantoja, Hermanos Flores, Carlos Piñana de Cartagena, Adolfo Rábanos de Logroño, Alberto Lucena de Cordoba, Paco del Gastor de Morón, José Antonio Rodríguez, Luis Calderito, Manuel Silveria, Pepe Corraliza, Enrique de Melchor... His flamenco guitars not only have the workmanship and beauty one expects in a quality handmade instrument, but also in tone richness, depth and balanced sound. Officially Juan Montero has retired but he has promised us that we still can get at least one guitar a year, which is really remarkable. If you want to know and feel how Aguilera his concert coral flamenco guitars looks like, we invite you to watch and enjoy the included high definition video of our Aguilera Condert Coral 2007 below. As like our Coral Concert 2007 from Juan Montero Aguilera, also the back and sides of this concert 2008 flamenco guitar are made in very beautiful, old aged coral. The top, however, is made from 1st grade German spruce. The combination of these woods deliver a truly very unique guitar. The deep red to brown African coral wood is harder than cypress. On the one hand, this enables the luthier to make very thin back and sides, resulting in a light, vibrant guitar, producing a wonderful flamenco sound brighter than cypress. On the other hand, the hardness and weight of the coral wood gives the guitar a power one expects from a flamenca negra….In addition the spruce top adds a specific amount of openness, clarity and directness….it's a unique combination of a powerful, bright sound as well as a tone that is both focused and lyrical…the decorative top purfling and very nice rosette make this coral concert also very beautiful to the eye. We asked Juan to make a really touching and unique concert flamenco that would overwhelm our expectations…and he simply succeeded once again.
