Interviewer- Which is your main guitar? (see question n. 4) http://www.elpais.com.uy/divertite/musica/guitarra-desagradecida.html
A: Paco de Lucia : "...I have many different guitars and very good ones actually, but I always have one with me... It's like a women you live with but who don't really like much...
because I really do not like this guitar too much...
but on the other side I know how this particular guitar  will  respond me on stage.  
The saying `best known evil than an unknown good` applies here.
In fact at home my guitar it is a rough and hard to play guitar,
when I'm relaxed at my place I can't play this guitar at all...
But when adrenaline is there (on the stage) I need a certain pulsacion  of which I get used to
and that's why I use it for playing on stage.
