Handmade Guitars
Each guitar is made entirely by hand in the Spanish method using primarily hand tools. Only the highest grades of woods available are used including Brazilian Rosewood, and highly figured bear claw German Spruce. The rosettes are hand made and unique, and every one is specially designed to complement the look of the finished instrument. The focus is on the craftsmanship of the highest caliber in every detail, with a concentration on achieving a powerful instrument without the loss of romance, evenness of attack across the scale, good fundamental notes with lush harmonic overtones, and no wolf notes. Prices for custom ordered guitars begin at $2000.00 for classical and flamenco models and $1500.00 for steel string models.
