116: Paco Chorobo

For episode 116, we're joined by Spanish guitarmaker Paco Chorobo from Úbeda, Spain.

 

Paco shares his journey from telecommunications engineer to full-time luthier and discusses his approach to building both classical and flamenco guitars while blending traditional hand craftsmanship with modern technology. We also explore the cultural roots of flamenco guitars, the construction differences between flamenco and classical instruments, and his philosophy of building guitars around the individual player.
