Let’s all pause to celebrate the birthday of Maria Rosario Pilar Martinez Molina Baeza – better known as Spanish American flamenco guitarist, actress, singer, comedian, Las Vegas headliner, perennial “special guest star” on 1970s TV shows like The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, Donny & Marie, Love Boat and Fantasy Island, beloved kitsch icon and “Cuchi Cuchi Girl” Charo! Bear in mind the actual birth date of the birthday girl is shrouded in mystery. Charo’s Wikipedia page devotes an entire section to “Birth year controversy.” (Her Spanish birth certificate and passport state 13 March 1941, but weirdly her preferred “show biz birthday” is 15 January 1951 – so in theory we can celebrate Charo’s birthday twice a year!). Anyway, if you don’t follow her on Instagram already do yourself a favour - the woman is a joyous ray of sunshine! “Cuchi cuchi!” Pictured: pinup of Charo by Steve Schapiro, 1976.

Daily Instrument — Flamenco Guitar

The flamenco guitar is a Spanish fretted string instrument. It has 6 strings, held flat against the player's torso, plucked with each finger on the right hand, while fretted with the left. The style flamenco guitar players use to pluck is called toque. The flamenco guitar is similar to the classical guitar. The key differences between the two are the flamenco guitar’s lower action, thinner neck and thinner body. Flamenco guitars are made with the idea of fast and easy playing in mind, while the classical guitar is made around the idea of clearer tone.

In your opinion: Prudencio Saez 1-FP

It’s got the hole works: Prudencio Saez 1 F-P Common knowledge You’ll find a guitar for almost every musical taste in the Prudencio Saez catalogue: classical, flamenco (blanca and negra), cutaway, Cuban tres, bandurria, lute and cutaway requinto. From professional to studio models. The luthiers at the Prudencio Saez workshop in Torrent, near Valencia must be very busy people indeed. But…

Need help with tuning machines that don’t fit properly?

When you cannot just “drop them in” and must go custom. These are 18:1 ratio Oro Gold Grovers that presented an issue fitting requiring careful modification.

These were too small (holes) and needed to be enlarged. If radius is larger on your guitar than you’ll have to fill, dry, and then ream. If opposite you will have to make them larger patiently, carefully, and slowly especially when getting close to fit.

Above: If your screw holes don’t line up [ABOVE] recycle sawdust/glue or whatever method you use to fill in the old holes because they are too close and could split.

Patience and focus when straightening your six-in-line as well as the entire modification is extremely vital from the aesthetic perspective to the preservation of intonation. We’re almost there but not quite…

important: Take. Your. Time.

Ok we’re good. They sound great. Much Love
