[Profile]
Born in Badajoz, Spain in 1947. Entered the workshop of José Ramirez III in 1963, learned under Paulino Bernabé, the head craftsman at the time, and eventually took charge of the production of the brand's top model, 1A, with the 'MC' stamp. It became a popular stamp at that time (MC stamp Ramirez is still popular in the market). Independent from Ramirez workshop in 1978. Around this time, the friendship with the master craftsman Arcangel Fernandez of Madrid began, and he began to collaborate. This had a great impact on the production of Caceres guitars. After Arcangel retired in 2011, Cáceres has been regarded as the only orthodox maker of Madrid and the one who inherited the most Madridian style. But in 2018 he closes his workshop and retires. Currently, it is only made to order, and it is a valuable brand with very few new works.

In addition to the original works, some Caceres guitars are shipped with the label 'Para casa Arcangel Fernandez' as an Arcangel workshop product. The latter is basically a specification supervised by Arcangel, but the original label model has several different internal structures, head shapes, label designs, and different sounding tendencies.

[Description]
Manuel Caceres One with the original label made in 2006. He has flexibly demonstrated his individuality while following the trends of the two major brands, Jose Ramirez and Arcangel Fernandez, but here it is a guitar with a profound charm unique to Cáceres. The sound is firm and powerful, and the volume is powerful enough. The variety of sound changes is truly romantic, and it has the elegant transparency found in models using high-quality rosewood from Central and South America.
The sound board has small scratches on the whole, and scratch marks are especially noticeable around the sound hole and under the bridge. Also, there is some paint wear on the part that the right arm touches when playing, but there is no problem in use. There are no major repairs such as cracks, and there are no problems with playability-related parts such as necks and frets. The tuning machine is made by FUSTERO.
