[Profile]
Born in Badajoz, Spain in 1947, he began working at the Ramirez workshop at the age of 13. He moved to Germany for family reasons, but returned to the Ramirez workshop and became the head of the Ramirez workshop. His guitars from that time are still highly regarded as MC Stamp Ramirez guitars. In 1978, with the advice of master craftsman Arcangel Fernandez, he became independent and established his own workshop in Madrid. He has gained fame as an instrument used by many famous guitarists, and he has also been teaching the younger generation in Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and other countries by conducting workshops on making guitars.
In 1999, he began helping Alcangel Fernandez for 13 years and gradually established his own style. Now, with Alcangel's retirement, he is working hard as the sole successor.

Caceres guitars are available with original labels and designs or with the 'Para casa Arcangel Fernandez' label as an Arcangel workshop product, the latter basically following the specifications supervised by Arcangel. There are several types of models with original labels, from internal construction to head shape, from detail specifications to label design, and each has a different and unique sound tendency.

[Description]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of one of the original designs made by Manuel Caceres (2017). This guitar was made the year before he closed his workshop in 2018, and shows the true value of this maestro, who was considered the legitimate successor to Arcangel Fernandez. It has a moderately rigid and slightly restrained sound and tone, with some Barbero/Arcangel-like elements. In this work, one can hear the delicate, even noble sound that has been characteristic of Caceres since the beginning of the 2010s. The density and depth of expression of the single notes, the rich expansion of the chords, and the elegant and romantic feel are wonderful. The balance between the clear treble and the bass that strongly supports it is also very natural.
There are no cracks or other major repairs, but it has been played a lot, and there are a few scratches concentrated near the soundhole and scratches all over. The back of the neck and the back of the head have scratches from fingernails, and the back has a few scuffs and scratches from playing.
