ANNOUNCEMENT: I had my birthday in October and now I am settling into a retirement where I am reducing my business activities with fretted instruments. I have essentially stopped importing guitars from Spain and distributing to dealers. From this time on I will deal with a small quantity of instruments which I make, design, refurbish or French Polish. The other half of my time will be spent on video projects dealing with selected music topics or the history/prehistory of Southern California. (Ron Fernandez)

Fernandez Music was established in 1985 but my experience with Spanish luthiers extends back to 1965 when my father and I started to deal with guitarmakers from his homeland. Since the 1990's I have imported over 13,000 guitars and I have personally set-up the last 8,000 of them.
