Mr. Robert Ruck personal comments:
Eduardo, thank you for reaching out. This is my #21 guitar, it was made for Bill Pope in 1970.  Indeed, it is a Flamenco Blanca in the style of the great Spanish makers Barbero, Domingo Esteso and Santos Hernandez whose work I was quite familiar with. I did live in Miami where I built guitars up to 1973. I wish you well and much enjoyment of this wonderful guitar.

Eduardo's personalized approach when helping me find what I needed showed he holds all his customers' interests in high regard. Eduardo was very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft, taking his time to explain each instrument's characteristics and purpose so I could decide what was best for me.

Wow wow wow, where to begin. I guess we can start with the fact that Ed is amazing! Seriously the nicest person to work with and you can tell he really loves what he does and really cares for his instruments. He truly goes above and beyond in customer service and customer experience. We live in a very dry and cold climate and Ed went out of his way to ensure our guitar was shipped safely and included a humidifier. We absolutely love our flamenco Negra and can’t thank Ed enough!

Hi Eduardo, Just a short note to express my satisfaction with the beautiful acoustic guitar I purchased from you today. I found you on the internet under “Guitars from Spain” Your presentation compelled me to contact you without bothering to call other vendors… During our short telephone introduction, I was puzzled by the fact that you, as the owner of Emac Music & Events, a company dedicated to the entertainment industry, were also involved in the sale of Classical and flamenco guitars.  You then proceeded to inform me that guitars are actually “your passion” as well as the most important component of your identity.  Your narrative was edifying, enlightening, educational, artistic, and most of all, it exhibited a warmth rarely found in business-related individuals.
My husband and I took the ride from Delray Beach to Boca Raton not long after our telephone conversation.  Surprise, surprise, we did not expect to visit a “Home Studio”…   When you came out to greet us and led us into your office, your courteous and gracious demeanor had us mesmerized…
The guitar you showed me was absolutely gorgeous, You took the time to familiarize me with the instrument,  letting me touch it “very carefully” per your direction, showed me similar instruments that were higher and lower in value and price, in short, you made it a most enjoyable experience.  After I made the decision to purchase it at your firm price (no haggling here), you took the time to demonstrate how to care for it,  while you handled it as though it were a young child.   Thank you Eduardo for a most pleasant afternoon, thank you for sending me home with an instrument that no doubt will enhance the few years I still have on this earth Thank you for being who you are.

Got a new job in Boca Raton, FL.  I love guitars and was exploring local music shops when I found “Guitars From Spain” on the web and called just for local knowledge.
Well, this guy Eduardo, answered and we had a totally ‘no pressure’ chat about guitars.  He asked:  How are you?  What do you play?  What do you like?  He said:  I like Classical and Flamenco guitars,  I have some in stock you might want to see ...here’s my phone number and address, come on by if you like.....bye.
I made an appointment and here’s this normal guy, who happens to love guitars, music, and fishing!  He started bringing out new guitars after new guitars, “OK, now look at this one...play one note... hear it ring?...see this one?....smell in the soundhole...can you smell the cedar?....look at the grain in this wood....this body is narrower,  hear the difference in the bass?  this is the attack you want in flamenco...  Now,  I’ve had some trauma to my left (neck) hand and Eduardo was receptive to my concerns.  (I consider my guitar ability as an amateur even though I’ve been playing 50 yrs.)
Five or six guitars later he showed me a Neris Gonzalez Milagro Cedar top, Rosewood back, and sides-fan fretted beauty.  The thing was not only gorgeous to look at and meticulously finished but the high notes rang like a bell and the low notes spoke like a cannon.  Love at first sound.  She went home with me.
Three lessons later usually towards the end of one of Eduardo's gentle, patient, and profound lessons he says,  “can I play your guitar for a moment?”  Of course, I said,  and I pass him the instrument.  Eduardo gets LOST simply listening to himself effortlessly playing Leo Brouwer’s “A Day in November”.   I say, “Eduardo, when are you going to teach me that?”......and he answers ......“not yet”.  Thank you for helping me getting an amazing guitar.

After spending hours trying to find a high-quality instrument in my area, I was lucky to find Eduardo of Guitars from Spain. He was able to get me a Wolfgang Jellinghaus Espanola 1A which sounded absolutely beautiful. He really took the time to allow me to see the differences of quality between the many guitars he had in selection. Demonstrating the differences in quality really helped me make an informed decision about the purchase of my guitar. My experience with Eduardo was a great one and I highly recommend anyone looking for a higher quality instrument to look no further and give Eduardo at Guitars From Spain a call.

A few months ago, after not playing guitar over 3 decades, I decided to get a nice guitar to start playing again.
I was initially going to buy a used Milago R1 locally in San Francisco.  But when I started doing a great deal of research on that guitar on the internet, I stumbled onto the GuitarsfromSpain website where I could get a brand new one at about the same price as the used one.  Not knowing whether this is a legitimate site, I decided to call the store.  I called a few times (I did not leave any messages) before the store owner, Edwardo, answered my call from Spain.  He told me briefly about the guitar and asked that I waited for him to come back from Spain so that he could tell me more about his business and the guitar.
After he came back to Florida a couple of weeks later, I had a couple more calls with him to talk about the guitar in question and the purchase process.  It was these conversations with him that made me feel at ease to place the order to purchase the guitar because he appeared to be very knowledgeable and cared deeply about providing great customer service.
After placing the order and during shipping, he was in constant contact with me daily and when I did not receive the guitar on time because for some reason, FedEx could not locate the guitar in their warehouse.  He was on top of the situation and dealt with Fed Ex directly.  Needless to say, I received my guitar quickly afterward and it is a great guitar as he advertised.
In summary, Edwardo is a great seller and highly recommended!!!  Kevin - San Francisco
