I work very hard to produce guitars with strong trebles and rich basses, a wide dynamic range, balance, good colouring and very good volume.

Flamencos are patterned after the CL-4 size. Raspy, with punch!

These guitar shapes are my own design that evolved over years of looking at and inspecting hundreds of guitars. These six different models are available for people to choose from.

Special Needs

Contact me with any special needs or just to talk about the guitar you need. I believe a guitar maker and the player should always be communicating as to help make better guitars. My love of classical guitar music and the tradition of Flamenco are the driving force in my quest to make only world class guitars.
