[Profile]
Joaquin Garcia Fernandez was born in Argentina in 1929, the son of Spanish immigrants, and returned to Astoria, Spain at the age of 2. At 15, he began working as a furniture workshop chief, but moved back to Argentina in 1949 to escape the Franco dictatorship. He worked part-time in a guitar workshop while serving in the military, but he was recognized for his woodworking skills and encouraged to make guitars in earnest. Later, Argentina also became a dictatorship, and Garcia decided to return to Spain. In 1975, he settled in Valencia and became a production advisor for the guitar factory Raimundo y Aparicio, and in 1982, he established his first workshop in Málaga, where he continues to make guitars with his son Nicolás.

His guitars, which are almost completely self-taught, are based on traditional Spanish guitars but have a unique structure and design, and because of their origins, they have a South American taste, making them a favorite brand for many genres other than classical.

[Description]
Joaquin Garcia 1977 No.863 used is in stock now. The label says "Valencia" and the overall specifications suggest that it was manufactured at Raimundo, where he was working at the time. The sides are made of Central and South American rosewood and the back is made of Indian rosewood.
The finish is a thick urethane varnish, but the sound is surprisingly vivid and loud. The tone is rather subdued rather than Spanish-style gorgeous, and the sound is somewhat like that of guitars from South America. There are cracks repaired on both sides of the fingerboard and near the bridge. There is a 10cm repair on the bottom of the backboard, and the back and sides are in relatively good condition, although there are a number of scratches and dings around the sound hole on the top. The frets are a little worn, but there are no playing problems. The neck is still straight, and the 664mm scale does not seem too big, so it can be played in a normal way.
