Well, there is no "bargain" in the natural stone industry; all us the experienced ones in this community know what to expect. I will always try to be most professional in handling all issues.
Guitars, however, are different; let's see what people are saying:

“...I play a spruce top M. Tezanos Perez Maestro, it is a wonderful instrument. I'm a big fan of these luthiers and their guitars..." Martha Masters  (pictured at the shop in Madrid)  GFA 2000 Winner, California, Duo Erato

"...It was with great pleasure that I played a recent cedar top Tezanos Perez Maestro guitar. I have played his guitars before and was impressed, but the last one was a real joy. The feel of the instrument was great and the sound terrific. The instrument was capable of reacting to whatever touch the player commanded, from the softest dark sonorities to explosive loud passages. I really look forward to continued exposure to the work of this great maker..." Robert Ward  Teacher, Performer & Composer Faculty NEU, Boston, MA

“...Tezanos Perez is one of the best guitars I ever played...” Thomas Boyd  Guitarist & Teacher, San Francisco, CA

“…It is so wonderful that there are dedicated people still making great instruments. M. Tezanos Perez is well worth every compliment…”

Berit Strong, Teacher & Performer, Acton, MA

"...I like Tezanos Perez for many reasons: The richness of the sound; the basses are noble and profound; the trebles complex and powerful. The design and workmanship, which are extravagant yet understated. This guitar is a true aristocrat and does not need to brag. The stunning materials, especially the beautifully figured Brazilian back and very tight-grained German spruce in my Maestro model. The wide variety of tone colors available. The excellent playability. Imagine a huge, purple and pink sunset over the Grand Tetons with rays of  gold illuminating the green plain at the mountains' feet. That is the sound of Tezanos Perez..." Larry Spencer. Performer & proud owner of a 1998 Tezanos Perez Maestro.  Marlborough, MA

"...Tezanos Perez guitars are certainly among the most elegant contemporary instruments in craftsmanship and tonal beauty..."  Frank Wallace Duo LiveOak . Teacher & Performer, Antrim, NH

"...Please convey to Sr. Tezanos my appreciation for the guitar I received this weekend. The workmanship is superb, and the sound is wonderful. It's an instrument that I will enjoy playing for many years to come. So please thank them for me. I'd also like to thank you for the service you provided to me throughout the purchasing process. Your graciousness and attentiveness made it a pleasure to do business with you. Should you need any references, please feel free to contact me..." Carl Bellack, MA

"...I have died and gone to heaven. Not only is this the most beautiful instrument in my position and deserving of a position in the Museum of Fine Arts, but it plays magnificently. It has such consistent tone and volume both horizontally and vertically. I am most pleased. Thank you again. Please relay my message to luthiers Tezanos and Perez. I hope to meet them someday. Ciao..." Anthony Anzelmo, MA

"...My "CONCIERTO" is beautiful in all respects. I believe the craftsmanship and sound are unparalleled in their approximate price range. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of my purchase of this fine instrument is you; from beginning to end you did exactly what you said you would do. Unusual these days! I received exactly what I thought I would. Best regards..." Robert G. Eiland, Fresno , CA

"...It is just the right instrument dear Ben. Thank you for suggesting the Cedar Maestro with the Indian Rosewood. I feel that I will enjoy my retirement even better! Everything with this guitar is just so wonderful; it can't get any better.  I am speechless, I must say. What an instrument, what a deal!  All I need to do now is to become a concert level player. Tu passes mes salutations aux luthiers Tezanos - Perez et je te remercie beaucoup, mon cher ami..." Eli Conrad Powers MD , Marana, AZ

"...Last year, I had the great fortune to acquire a 1999 Maestro spruce in like-new condition. The guitar became one of my favorites shortly after. Then, a couple of months ago, fate had me meet Ben and the gracious, helpful gentleman that he is, I found myself yet again with a wonderful (not able to pass on) opportunity to acquire a new Maestro cedar. The plan was to play the two to see which I'd like better, the cedar or spruce, and consequently keep one and sell the other. Well, both guitars are very different sonically - I love the cedar, I love the spruce...And must keep both! I am instead selling a different guitar. Thank you Ben, and please pass my appreciation on to the Luthiers. Superb guitars!..." Steve Green, Stuart, FL
