Details
Background:
German Vazquez Rubio (also known as G.V. Rubio) has been making guitars for over forty years and has developed his own signature sound that guitarists have come to love. He was born in 1952 in Paracho, Mexico where there is an abundance of fine luthiers (with few exceptions all of the finest guitars in Mexico come from Paracho). German's first formal training began at eleven years old when he left school to help support his seven siblings and work for his uncle Manuel Rubio at his workshop. There even at his young age he made a conscious effort to make guitar building his life's work. In 1968 at the age of sixteen he made his first concert level guitar (hence his label reads 'desde 1968"). German has since been able to learn from many different master builders such as Felix Manzanero, Jose Romanillos and Thomas Humphrey. He now resides in Los Angeles, California where he builds a variety of both classical and flamenco models.
Description:
This is the top-of-the-line model from GV Rubio in every way. It is built with only his finest, most precious materials, features his unique and sophisticated bracing pattern, and shows off his most delicate, refined craftsmanship in the carving, inlay and finish work. Materials include a premium German spruce top from his reserve stock, striking African Blackwood for the back and sides, and a mahogany neck with V-joint design, African ebony fingerboard with hidden cocobolo reinforcement. Sound of this instrument is also superb, with a rich, velvety texture to each note. It is also extremely responsive and loose, with plenty of volume for any concert setting. It is also fitted with a 20th fret for repertoire requiring a high c natural, as well as raised fingerboard for more comfortable playability in the upper registers. Overall, a beautiful-sounding and intricately made concert guitar - this is German Vazquez Rubio at his absolute finest.
