Zapala Hermanos guitar

Can't Post |

I recently bought a guitar from a man who said he went to Mexico and bought this guitar from the man that made it.It is a beautiful piece of work and I've been trying to find out more about it.The label inside the guitar reads:
Zapala Hermanos
Fabricantes De
Guitarras y Requintos
con domicilio en
independencia No.30
Dom.Part.Galeana 185
Tel.(91 452)5-07-02
Paracho,Michoacan
If anyone knows anything about this guitar maker or what the value of it might be,I would love to hear from you.It is in remarkable condition and was made about 10 years ago.Thanks,Paul.

I would have no clue how to price or value of a guitar. But I can tell you I was in Paracho about five weeks ago to buy a guitar and that was one of the first places I was told to go see: the address was Independencia No. 30. They were closed when we got there so we bought one from another guitarmaker on the list. But supposely, they make quality stuff. My .02.DS
