This is a guitar of the firm Ignacio Fleta e Hijos del año 1983 and another one, made by Manuel Contreras del año 1982, Two magnificent guitars which are part of the most representative leading figures of classical guitar in our country.
Juan José Sáenz Gallego worked with great craftsmen, such as Jorge Cardoso, José Tomás, Francisco Ortiz and Narciso Yepes, among others. In 1998, he founded Regino Sainz de la Maza’s International Guitar Week, in Burgos, whose artistic direction he managed from the first minute, along with the Local Culture Institute. The event was born with the purpose of honoring and divulgating Sainz de la Maza’s musical talent. Sainz de la Maza (1896-1981) was an outstanding performer in Burgos’s musical and cultural history.
