Salvador Ibáñez (1854–1920) was a Spanish luthier. He made all kind of stringed instruments. These instruments were considered the finest of their age and are prized for their excellent quality and impeccable workmanship.
When he died in 1920 his workshop continued to be managed by his two sons until it was sold in 1933 to Telesforo Julve. Julve bought the Salvador Ibanez name, personnel and machinery and incorporated it in its own enterprise.
Julian Bream has played a Salvador Ibáñez guitar. Eric Clapton has owned several original Salvador Ibáñez guitars, one of which was sold at a benefit auction in 1999 obtaining a final price of US$42,000.
The scale length is 657 mm and the nut width 51 mm

For all my guitars with wooden pegs, I offer the conversion to Wittner finetune pegs. These look like wooden pegs, but offer far better comfort and a wonderful tuning stability.
For material and installation costs, I have to charge 200 € – if you are interested in this option, please let me know!
