Handcrafted Guitars in the Spanish Tradition
Built entirely by hand, using traditional methods passed down through centuries of Spanish lutherie. Each instrument is made one at a time, with patience, care, and a deep love of wood and sound.
Discover the craft
Wood continues to move after it has been cut from a tree — in a sense, it is still alive. I work with that life, not against it.
Sound changes and reacts to its surroundings — temperature, humidity, space. A guitar is never finished becoming what it will be.
Each instrument I build has spent considerable time in my hands. My vibrations are part of that instrument. They always will be.
The Method
The Spanish method of guitar construction is one of the oldest and most respected approaches in lutherie — a tradition of patience, of working with the wood rather than imposing upon it.
I use hand tools throughout, as luthiers have for centuries. No CNC machines, no laser cutters. Just skilled hands, sharp tools, and time.
The Spanish Heel
The neck and body are joined using the traditional Spanish heel — a method where the neck is integral to the construction from the very beginning, lending greater resonance and structural integrity.
Hand Tools Only
Every cut, every shaping, every fitting is done by hand. This allows a sensitivity to the wood that no machine can replicate — responding to each piece as an individual, not a material to be processed.
One Guitar at a Time
I build one instrument at a time, giving it my full attention. This is not a production line — it is a relationship between maker and material that unfolds over many months.
The Maker
Beautiful sound can evoke feelings that words cannot reach. That understanding is at the heart of everything I make. Sound is important to people in ways that are often not fully appreciated — until it moves them.
Based in London, I build classical guitars one at a time, by hand, giving each instrument the time and attention it deserves.
The Journey of a Guitar
Each guitar is built one at a time using traditional Spanish methods, patience, and a deep respect for the craft.
The rosette is prepared and fitted, a detail that brings beauty and character to the soundhole.
The soundboard is braced using the traditional Spanish fan pattern, carefully shaped for strength and tone.
The back is fitted and the body closed using traditional rope binding for an even, secure joint.
Bindings and purfling are fitted and refined by hand, bringing precision to the finished edges.
As the instrument comes together, attention turns to the details — refining surfaces and preparing for finishing.
