Default Anyone have experience with Antonio Aparacio guitars?

Hi I am new here, and was wondering if anyone has played with one of these. I am presently playing a La Patire concert cutaway, and played an AA20 guitar in the local guitar store. It sounded nice and rich.

Paul.

The Aparicio shop builds a very wide range of guitars, as well as contracting builds for other brands. Like most brands, their inexpensive instruments (under 1k or so) will be hit and miss, and the AA100 and AA152's will be much more consistent tonally...

The one I played certainly sounded "richer" and had more sustain than my LaPatrie. I even changed the strings on my guitar to see if that was the difference.
As far as I can tell the guitar is built in Spain and not Asia, can anyone tell me different?
I think I may pick this one up, even at $299 canadian I think it would be a good buy.

Thanks
Paul.

Sounds like you have come across a good one. If you like it and the price is right, what do you have to lose?

So I went ahead and bought the guitar, and I am very pleased with it. I have been practising more, and loving the tone.
