You can find a nice documentary about my beautiful craft in the recently published online magazine ‘Orfeo’ (Click on image).
Welcome to the realm of the classical guitar!
Are you looking for a guitar that is customised to your needs and you can have a say in the choice of woods? You will also find guitars that are ready to be brought to life.
The guitars are built by hand using traditional Spanish methods.
For the top I use spruce wood from the Bernese Oberland and Graubünden that has been stored for years.
For the back and sides you can choose between Indian rosewood, cypress, satinwood or figured maple.
Joints are mainly glued with hide and bone glue.
Each guitar is varnished by hand with wax-free shellac in an elaborate process.
"La Gordita"
My experience in rebuilding Hauser, Santos and Arias guitars inspired me to develop my own model. The sound is convincing with a sonorous bass, percussive mids and a singing treble with good resolution and quick response.
Arias Model
Vicente Arias (1833-1914) was a contemporary of Antonio de Torres. His guitars are characterised by their outstanding sound quality. The instrument is very lightly built and has a quick response. Despite its small body, the basses sound rich and deep.
