[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 now have in stock one with the original label and design made in 2017, the year before he closed his workshop in 2018, a truly substantial guitar by this maestro who was considered the legitimate successor of Arcangel Fernandez.
There is almost no distortion on the sound board, and the work has a somewhat Barbero - Arcangel-like feeling to it. You will be able to hear an authentic Madrid sound. The density of the single notes is high, with a variety of tones, and the overall atmosphere is romantic.
The guitars Caceres made from the beginning of the 2010s until he closed his workshop, especially the 'Alcangel model' made as an AURA original, have shown an extremely refined level of perfection, but this warm, simple, and powerful work also shows another side of this master.
There are no cracks or other major repairs, but it has been well played, and there are some minor scratches near the soundhole. The back of the neck and the back of the head have slightly more scratches from fingernails.
