Niiiice.. 

Excuse my ignorance... may i ask what is this block next to the bridge, what special function or purpose? Does the neck wood sandwich alignment add to overall stability?

I was wondering about the same thing hahah...

i spoke with the luthier and he told me that they were going to do another small pick up for the flamenco kick that they do by hand, while they play, like this the kick is much louder

Anybody know what happened to Janaid Guitars? I remember they were all over the place some years ago...the look was never my type, but then I saw some demos and thought; wow these sound very, very good! Some very good pick ups they built. Also the guy who build them was a great player.

Good luck with your sale!

I just spoke with him recently, he is still alive hahah 😝

he told me that he is making only 2 to 3 instruments per year, he is working now with a very old black wallnut that it grows in south of spain and olive wood that has 25years old "drying time" and is totally different from the ones you can find in Italy or California, maybe because of the particular weather in there, they have a very dry summer and a lot of humdity during the winter, it coast him in the other hand a lot to find a good wood, he cuts a lot, and all the procces.. it is very delicate to find the right olive pieces that can be used in his workshop.

This is amazing - absolutely beautiful...

If you would just lend it to me for a while.....😏

If you were in EU, I would definitely lend it to you, but unfortunately you're thousands milles faraway... 🤷🏾‍♂️
