Just sold a six point string spacing gauge to a Guitar builder in Spain.
His name is Francisco Jose Rodríguez Torrón with a name like that I imagined an old guy with a long moustache and specs, working in shed, bent over a bench surrounded by traditional clamps and tools and a hide glue pot ..Carving knife in hand labouring over a spruce top Flamenco guitar, with wood shavings everywhere and classical guitars hanging from the roof beams.
But! I was wrong .. in fact he runs a modern workshop turning out solid electric guitars for rock musicians.
And here he is.
