Ignacio Fleta (1897 - 1977)

Spain

Ignacio Fleta, following in the footsteps of Enrique Garcia and Ignacio Simplicio, was a prominent luthier representing 20th-century Barcelona guitar school. His work gained worldwide recognition when the legendary maestro Andrés Segovia played his guitars, drawing admiration from countless musicians who sought his instruments, which became a dream for many.

Ignacio Fleta's guitar-making legacy was passed down to his two sons, Francisco and Gabriel. Today, the tradition continues through Gabriel's son, Gabriel Fleta Jiménez, the grandson of Ignacio Fleta, ensuring the family’s renowned craftsmanship lives on.
