My 50 Fretting Years by Ivor Mairants $19.95 This book covers his experiences from c.1929-1979 when it was first published. It has Classical, Flamenco & Jazz artists that Ivor met in his travels. This book was my bible a decade ago.Want to know why a lot of guitar dealers such as myself carry the guitars that we do? Aqui se dice todo (Here it tells all). There are 40 pages on guitarmakers of Spain. These articles 1st appeared as monthly columns in the British magazine B.M.G. (Banjo, Mandolin & Guitar). I have the originals. Go with Ivor to the Marcelo Barbero shop in 1955, go with him to the Ricardo Sanchis factory in 1956 (I sell great guitars by his son Vincente Sanchis), go with Ivor as your guide to the Ignacio Fleta shop in 1958.
