Well, you know, by all accounts the guitars are crap, but the guy can
play. Now, I'm not saying he's the greatest thing since EVH, but the
guy isn't without playing ability.

The guy is a mediocre classical guitarist- IMHO nothing to write home
about- there are probably many guys on here who can play better than
that Zorro wannabe.

Anyone can make money- so what? He sells shit that he tries to hawk as
if it's solid gold- not really something that is worthy of respect, if
you ask me.

Good article:
http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/issues/2000-09-21/news/feature.html
"Esteban was a nobody, a star only to the devoted cult
that repeatedly returned to the lobby bar of Scottsdale's
Hyatt Regency, where he'd slowly built a worshipful
following over the last decade.
"To the astonishment of many in the home-shopping biz,
Esteban was an immediate sensation at QVC, quickly
selling more than 100,000 CDs. He's since moved on to
the Home Shopping Network, and two months ago, after
a rapturously received debut appearance on the network,
he sold 56,000 CDs in one week, simultaneously placing
two of his albums in the Top 54 of the Billboard 200 album
chart.
"Incredibly, a middle-aged instrumental artist with no
record label support, minimal radio airplay and negligible
press interest had outsold Limp Bizkit and Celine Dion."
[...]
"Although the only evidence of his studies with Segovia
is a photograph and a brief, autographed note that
Segovia wrote to him, Esteban has rarely missed an
opportunity to invoke the name of his beloved 'maestro'.
He's repeatedly claimed to be one of only 14 guitarists
in the world endorsed by Segovia, a number unsupported
by any factual evidence, and even says that he began
using the name Esteban (Spanish for "Stephen") because
that's what Segovia called him.
"Cynics are quick to note that this appropriation of
Segovia's reputation didn't begin until after the Spanish
classical guitar virtuoso died in 1987, and therefore could
no longer speak for himself.
