I've actually seen the odd one for sale up here in Canada. Ditto the Espana's - I've owned another Val Dez, same as this one (V66) but the top was sunken in and I had a guy buy it who thought he could fix it ($25 sale!). The Espana I has I wish I had kept. Muck like a Gibson B-15. I posted about it here, on the forum. Rosewood saddle, but had the dreaded "hump" after the 12th fret. I was going to get it repaired, but moved it to someone who could do it themselves, as we didn't have the funds, as a family. If I could find another in better shape, I'd scoop it up (if the price was right, of course!) Perhaps the Val Dez came here, and the Espana's to the U.S.? I do see the odd Espana for sale in Alberta, maybe once a year.

I'll never sell this Val Dez, though. My son really likes it, so I'll pass it on down to him. At almost 60 years on the planet, it's in fine shape - and the "checking" gives it that much more "mojo"! I'll try and post a photo, but I think Jake Wildwood's sample shows off this guitars best attributes. (Now if I could just find an old Goya G-10!)
