History:

Vicente was the son of Ricardo Sanchis Nácher. His older brother Ricardo died in 1938 during the Civil War.

Vicente was an apprentice in his father's workshop and continued his father's business from 1955. He began working with his nephew Ricardo Sanchis Carpio and they called themselves: "Successors of Ricardo Sanchis Nácher".

In 1963, production moved to a large, modern building in Masanasa.

After 10 years of working together, Ricardo left Vicente in 1965 to start his guitar workshop.

Vicente continued the business under his name: Vicente Sanchis (Badía), adding: “old (former) Ricardo Sanchis house.”
