Juan Hernández--Constructor of Guitars. Made in Alboraia (Valencia), Spain
Juan Hernández Iranzo was born in Turís (Valencia) Spain in the late 1940's. He began learning guitarmaking in the Francisco Esteve workshop at age15. There he became an "oficial" (sort of a certified guitarmaker) and later he became production manager. For many years he has been involved with the construction of the deluxe models made at Esteve. Now, along with the assistance of 3 artisans, he is proud to offer a limited number of fine guitars under his own label made of very good woods and constructed with care and expertise.
