Hello Mr. J. Orozco and fellow Orozco guitar owners,

I have one from "1979" with the number "15-u-89." Its the best classical guitar I've ever had - It plays and sounds great (in my humble opinion)! I would like to know if Mr. Orozco (and/or others here) can tell me if the back and sides are laminated or solid. Its hard to tell just by looking inside because it has finish and is dark. Its a bit of a mistery to me. The guitar has a very immediate response so I suspect it is laminate back/sides but I'm no expert so I can be wrong here. Thank you very much for a great guitar, Mr. Orozco! And thank you to everyone here for this J. Orozco guitar info.

Cheers,
Ramon

: Hello to all Orozco lovers!
: I kept on doing research untill I finally was able to contact mr. Juan Orozco himself!

: These guitars are built by Tama (Ibanez)in Japan as the label says. This is his letter:

: Dear Mr. Noud Koevoets,

: In reply to your email.

: I'm a guitar maker, I get it from my father and grandfather.From 1969 to 1983 I did a lot's of business with the Japanese and put in a lot of work and time in the Japanese factory side by side with Matzuoka, Tamura, Yairi, Takamine,and Hoshino Gakkiten. I also help them design the guitar that has my name .The Kohno - Sakuray guitar we used to fabricate in a small shop in the company of Hoshino Gakki ten. These company produced the acoustic and electrical guitars on the name Ibanez and the main business is TAMA DRUMS. After we negotiated he decided it to produced the guitar Juan Orozco, in the same shop.This company used to make 175 Guitars a month, witch 100 of them were coming to Juan Orozco ,40 of them with the name of Kohno and 35 with the name Sakuray and just so you know they are the same Guitars, The only thing is that in the last years that we did this together,I've accomplish that they put my head design on the Guitars that would come with my name. Here you'll find 3 pages with the pictures of my Guitars. The model's we've design for me are the model # 8 - # 10 - # 15. One thing that you said that I thing is thru about the Ramirez guitar,because you're not the only one that say's that, I have many, many letters with the same opinion you have about the Juan Orozco Guitars.
: I've moved my company to Puerto Rico 10 years ago, to expand my business in the Aranjuez Guitar Strings and the hard shell classical guitar cases,and very soon start to fabricated the same guitar that you now have in your hands.

: Thank you very much, you really don't know how much this means to me.I hope I've answer all your questions and if is anything else, I'll be more than happy to help.

: Have a great day.
