Vícente Sanchís Badía
|
The Vícente Sanchís Badía guitar factory was originally founded in 1915 by Ricardo Sanchís Nacher (1881-1960), a talented luthier with close ties with the shops of Manuel Ramírez and Domingo Esteso. The company is run by the Vícente Sanchis, son of the founder, and employs some 22 workers. Vícente Sanchis Badía makes a variety of models from low end student models to classical and flamenco guitars for virtuosos. Despite its size, methods of construction remain doggedly traditional, and most of the work is done by hand. Each of his craftsmen specializes in one or two models. Craftsmen with less experience build the cheaper models, as they gain experience they are promoted to more expensive models. Their top models are made by master luthiers. In 2000, Vicente Sanchis retired and the firm was reorganized by his sons and partners. They continue to make most of the same models of guitars under the same label. |
