[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]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of Manuel Cáceres No. 103, made in 2013. The label is printed with . This is the third 'Arcangel Fernandez' model made as an AURA original model, and as the work of this maker's mature period, this is a splendid guitar that can be considered the best of the Madrid School since the 2000s. It has a very high degree of perfection, with a clear, heavy, and lustrous tone, and excellent balance and separation, making it a work worthy of being called his flagship model. This guitar is the result of the techniques handed down from Alcangel Fernandez at an extremely high level.
The body is made of carefully selected top quality materials. The back and sides are made of beautiful, nearly quarter-sawn Latin American rosewood, and the body is light and responds well without stress. The red, brown, and black sound holes match well with the brightly colored sound board. The head shape is a characteristic Barbero - Arcangel design, which enhances the overall appearance.
There are only a few scratches, but there is no history of repairs, and the instrument is in very good condition considering its age for a fully shellac-finished instrument.
