garcia guitar
by: philip conrad

Garcia is a phony name/label created by jim sherry of sherry-brenner co. in chicago starting in the late 70s. The guitar is a laughing stock with people even remotely in the know. It's made in japan,very cheaply at that, with the 1a models sold new approx 250.00-if seller would like another one,he can buy mine that I purchased new.

Garcia's Make Beautiful Music !!!
by: Anonymous

You dont know what you are talking about.
I hv a Beautiful Garcia Made in Spain 1967.
Im not much of a guitarist, but people that hv played my guitar love the sound and the tonality.
Everyone who has played it has asked to buy it from me.
Someone who repairs million dollar Stratovarius
who also did a repair on my guitar wanted to buy it. He loved the sounds it produced.

Could be woth it
by: John Mayer

Real ones have a red label. I own one. I bought it from a nun who taught me to play in New York in 1978. Between 1965_1974, this company had a very dishonest manufacturing process. A distributor in Chicago cooked up a plan to create these guitars in Japan claiming they were made in Spain. There is no such person as Fredrico Garcia.

What does your label say on the inside? Your guitar could be worth far more than $1000 or it could be worth $50.

1970 Garcia
by: Jimmy La

I have a 1970 Garcia, Grade 1. The 'Federico' was dropped in 1970. The grading indicates the woods used. Grade 1 has E Indian Rosewood back and sides, Cedar top and Neck, Granadillo fretboard and bridge. The Sherry-Brener website indicates Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Mahogany neck and Ebony Fretboard but this is not the case. It appears that there was some degree of misleading information on the part of Sherry-Brener as to origin. However, they are well made guitars. The website indicates of value of $3000 and I've seen people trying to sell them online for as much as $2500 and as little as $500. I paid less for mine in a pawn shop. You'd probably have to spend nearly $1000 to buy this level of quality in a new guitar. I love mine, it sounds great.

lots of Garcia guitars on this site
by: Anonymous

There are quite a few of these Sherry Brenner "Frederico Garcia" guitars on this site that have asking prices of $2000. $2000 for a cheaply made Japanese guitar with a phony Spanish label is a bit much. New classical guitar shoppers beware! There are quite a few high end quality guitars offered on this site by known makers such as Humphrey, Brune, Blackshear, etc. These luthiers are known for their exceptional work.

Mr. H J Byron - Juris Doctor,

What law school did you go to? Your English writing skills are quite interesting to say the least. If you are a Juris Doctor then I am an astrophysicist!

The guitars are still worth $250-$500 max.

my experiences on Garcia
by: Malaga Guitar

--their sure is a bunch of opinions and mis-understandings about Garcia guitars. The Frederico Garcia guitar is a damn good guitar, the Garcia is an OK intermediate to starter guitar. If you put some 20 or 30 dollar strings on a Garcia and replace the tuners, saddle and nut most are ok intermediate guitars. Need one with a reasonably straight neck. The Frederico Garcia brand are really nice guitar and I would rate a little under Rameriez if both have some good strings and rest is equal. I have two Garcia guitars and two Federico Garcia in my small store and I usually stock same. The Garcias' sell for approx. 400.00 with new tuners, new full or partial finish, good strings and new gigbag. The Fredirico Garcia have new finish, new tuners, new nut and bridge and better strings. I sell these for 600 and up. I have no problem selling, except on no play forums like eBay where one can hear most anything from guitars and people!
