I had the great opportunity to travel to Paracho, Mexico, and met Don Guillermo Rubio.
I got one of his beautiful guitar.
Anybody heard of Paracho, Mexico?
Love it.

Never been there, but I have a nice Kenny Hill Guitarras de Estudio nylon-string palo escrito cutaway that was built in Paracho. Hill has since moved his offshore line to China, I believe.

I would love to go down to Paracho and look around one day. I can't imagine how many guitars have been built in that little town!

Sure. It’s a beautiful place near the Copper Canyon and world famous for guitars. Some of the finest shops in the world for classical, flamenco, and bossa players.

Lots of cheap trinket guitars too, as to be expected in a town known for guitars and guitar tourism. But the top workshops make some of the best guitars in the world. Not really a place for steel string guitars, though. I’m sure you can find someone to build you anything. People in Mexico hate saying “no”. But that’s not really their thing.

There are many guitar factories there, and also have a lot of guitar luthiers in Paracho.
Don Guillermo makes about 4-5 guitars a year.

I really did not see the other stores, as I stuck with one luthier, and stayed with Don Guillermo, the whole day, until I got the deal finished.
Paying with credit card is not easy because Mexico has limits on credit cards.
Paracho is also one of those towns that the cartel has some hold on, and you do not want to be in Paracho when the sun has set, and nighttime is started.
