[Profile]
Born in Badajoz, Spain in 1947, he began working at the Ramirez workshop at the age of 13. He moved to Germany for family reasons, but returned to the Ramirez workshop and became the head of the Ramirez workshop. His guitars from that time are still highly regarded as MC Stamp Ramirez guitars. In 1978, with the advice of master craftsman Arcangel Fernandez, he became independent and established his own workshop in Madrid. He has gained fame as an instrument used by many famous guitarists, and he has also been teaching the younger generation in Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and other countries by conducting workshops on making guitars.
In 1999, he began helping Alcangel Fernandez for 13 years and gradually established his own style. Now, with Alcangel's retirement, he is working hard as the sole successor.

Caceres guitars are available with original labels and designs or with the 'Para casa Arcangel Fernandez' label as an Arcangel workshop product, the latter basically following the specifications supervised by Arcangel. There are several types of models with original labels, from internal construction to head shape, from detail specifications to label design, and each has a different and unique sound tendency.

[Description]
Manuel Cáceres This guitar was made in 2010 with the original label, and the head design is also original to Caceres. However, from the internal construction to the acoustics, it still follows the construction method of Arcangel Fernandez, making it an excellent guitar in the great lineage of Santos Hernandez, Barbero I, and Arcangel Fernandez.
Compared to Alcángel's heavy sound, Cáceres' guitar has a somewhat lighter response and a more intense, Madrid-like tone. The sound is pure and deep, with a rich volume that is strongly reminiscent of Spanish guitars. His guitar has a unique elegance, which is expressed in his exceptional expressiveness.
There are many scratches from playing, which have been partially repaired by painting, but the color is uneven due to the rather rough treatment. There is no history of cracks or other major repairs. There are two splits on the inside from the heel of the neck to the sound hole, which is a method of preventing cracks, and is a common specification for Arcangel workshop products.
