Jose Yacopi 1996
An ideal classical guitar for lovers of vintage guitars.
The famous luthier Jose Yacopi
Jose Yacopi was born in Vitoria, Spain, in 1916. He moved to Argentina in 1949 with his father, the famous luthier Gamaliel Yacopi. In 1951, he set up his own workshop in San Fernando, a charming town north of Buenos Aires. Many great guitarists, including Narcisso Yepes, Atahualpa Yupanqui, María Luisa Anido and Abel Fleury, have had the chance to play his magnificent instruments.
It was his father, Gamaliel Yacopi (1878-1951), who taught him all the tricks of the trade. He was the founder of the Yacopi dynasty. In the traditional Barcelona school, Yacopi Sr. guitars are similar to those made by the famous Spanish luthier Francisco Simplicio.
