HELLO,

I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT YOU ENJOY YOUR CANDELAS GUITAR. MY MARIACHI FRIENDS ONE IN
PARTICULAR WAS VERY DISPLEASED WITH WHAT HE GOT. HE PURCHASED A VIHUELA ,AND
THIS FRIEND IS REALLY MUSICALLY TRAINED, IT HAD CRACKED ON HIM. THE CRACK WAS
ABOUT 2 !/2 INCHES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK. TO HIM, AT THAT TIME WAS NO
PROBLEM BECAUSE HE KNEW "CANDELAS" WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. SO HE TOOK IT TO THEM,
THEY NO PROBLEM WE WILL REDO THE WHOLE BACK. SO HE GOT IT, IT LOOKED VERY GOOD.A
MONTH LATER HE NOTICED PEELING WHERE THE CRACK WAS AT. HE GOT A BIT SUSPICIOUS
AND BEGAN TO PEEL IT SOME MORE. WHAT HE BEGAN TO SEE WAS A BIG SLAB OF WOOD
PUTTY OR CLAY. SO THEY BASICALLY COVERED THE CRACK WITH PUTTY AND PAINTED OVER
IT. I WAS PRETTY SAD WHEN I HEARD IT. I SAID TO MYSELF "NO, NO NOT CANDELAS!" SO
MY FRIEND WAS REALLY UPSET SO HE TOOK IT BACK TO HAVE IT REPAIRED PROPERLY.

CANDELAS IS GOOD BUT IN MY OPINION IT IS GOOD FOR ANYONE TO SHOP AROUND. FOR
EXAMPLE I'M NOT A GUITAR PLAYER I JUST PLAY THE HARP FOR A CONJUNTO JAROCHO BUT
I'M HAVING MY SECOND MARIACHI GUITAR DONE BY LUTHIER(AND HE'S MEXICAN TO THE
BONEBY THE WAY ) "GERMAN VASQUEZ RUBIO" AND HE IS IN LOS ANGELES ALSO AND
WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT HE WORKED FOR THE CANDELA'S FAMILY JUST COMING FROM
"PARACHO" SO HE GOT OUT AND STARTED HIS OWN BUISNESS. YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD OF
HIM, BUT THIS GUY IS A BEAST IN MAKING GUITARS OR WHATEVER INSTRUMENT YOU
WANT.HIS GUITARS HAVE BEEN ENTERED IN MANY TOURNAMENTS AND ONE MANY OF THEM. HIS
NAME IS GROWING IN POPULARITY NOT JUST WITHIN THE MEXICAN COMMUNITY BUT ALSO
THE "RICHIE RICH CONCERT GUITAR PLAYING GUEROS" LOOK ALL I'M TELLING YOU IS TO
CHECK THIS GUY OUT BUT THEN AGAIN I EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINION.
WELL I WILL BE HAPPY TO KNOW FROM YOU SOON. BYE JOSE
