Francisco Muñoz Alba is settled in Granada and is one of the most talented Spanish luthiers of the new generation. He was trained by luthiers such as Rafael Moreno and Antonio Marín Montero. Francisco Muñoz won the first prize in the second edition of the '"Antonio Marín Montero "Guitar making competition"'.
The guitar presented here is identical to the one that won him this prize. The craftsmanship is very meticulous and the woods are of the highest quality, like the Ziricote used for the back and sides. The aesthetics is gorgeous with the fleur-de-lys of the rosette or the undulated contours of the central part of the back. The beauty and the sound performance are at the level of the visual qualities. The notes are singing and expressive, the timbre is woody, warm and lyrical. A very beautiful instrument that demonstrates the talent and know-how of this luthier.
