Construction


I have developed a classical guitar model and two electric guitar models. The classical guitar model features some of the structural characteristics used by eminent luthiers such as Antonio de Torres (shape of the soundbox) and José Romanillos (bracing of the soundboard). The fretboard presents a countersinking, as suggested by Mario Garrone.

The types of wood used could be Spanish cedar or red fir for the soundboard. As far as the neck is concerned, mahogany, maple or cedrella. For the fretboard, ebony or rosewood. Bands and base are usually made in rosewood, birdseye maple or curly maple, or cypress for flamenco models. Bridges are in antique walnut or rosewood.

I can also build antique instruments such as Baroque or 1800 guitars (not lutes) with strings in animal intestine, inserts in mother of pearl and natural animal bone.


For electrical instruments, I have two available styles that vary in dimension. The types of wood I use are maple, birdseye maple or curly maple for the neck (depending on the client's budget). The fretboard is made in rosewood, ebony, birdseye maple or curly maple. The body can be made in linden or mahogany and the top (on request) in curly maple.

Hardware possibilities: Tune-o-matic (fixed bridge), vintage tremolo bridge, Floyd Rose, Lo Pro Edge bridge.
Pickups: Kent Armstrong, Seymour Duncan or Dimarzio Paf Pro series with pickup switch with three or five positions.
