The famous luthier Joaquín García
Joaquín García Fernandez was born in 1929 in Santa Cruz, Argentina. He lived in Spain from the age of 2 and was apprenticed to a cabinetmaker at 13. Opposed to the Spanish political regime, he returned to Argentina in 1949. He began working in a guitar-making workshop, where luthiers recognized his talent. He created his very first guitar in 1952. He then embarked on a lifelong research project into acoustics and guitar history. He finally returned to Spain with the arrival of the dictatorship in Argentina. In 1975, he joined the Raimundo y Aparicio company as an advisor, then headed for Torremolinos, where he set up his workshop in 1982. His son Nicolas takes over from him.
