Title: Principales características de las guitarras de autores de renombre mundial.
Author: Castellano, Luis Martín.
Language: Spanish.
Comments: This is not a book: it is an article wich was delivered to the people who came to the conference in may 15, 1938. This article is full of information about characteristics such as: (rossettes, heads, heels, fan bracing, bridges, etcetera) Santos Hernández, Domingo Esteso, Arias, Torres, Pascual Viudez, Enrique García and Simplicio. While this article is almost imposible to get, if you ask me for it, I'll make a copy for you.
