About:

Dear fellow guitarist:

Thank you for your interest in my guitars. Guitar making is a fascinating process that involves having a clear understanding of acoustics in relation to the physical properties of wood.

Having been involved with the guitar most of my life since I began to play the guitar at the age of fifteen, and I feel that I understand this principle very well. I have been building guitars since 1982. I apprenticed with master luthier Jose Seda from New York and Puerto Rico, who was in his mid to late eighties at the time. He passed away at the ripe old age of ninety one, but left me with a legacy that I will forever appreciate.

My guitars are built using only the finest wood and material available, and after the traditional spanish method, with the sides let into the neck at the heel. I feel this method produces a much stronger and stable instrument.

I find that there is a part of me that goes into every guitar that I build, therefore it is important that I be in the right frame of mind and high level of spirit whenever I am at work in my shop. That comes to me from my relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom I give all the glory and honor for the talent He has given me to build these fine guitars.

. The price for one of my classical guitars starts at $4000.00, and higher depending on your choice of wood and materials.

I am now building Harp Guitars also. My price for one of these fascinating guitars start at $8000.00 and higher depending on your choice wood and materials. These guitars require a lot of time and effort to build, but they are worth waiting for. The sound will blow you away.

If you are interested in seeing or purchasing one of my guitars, please don’t hesitate to contact me
