Handmade Classical and Flamenco Guitars

  • Carlos Piña: The 12th Fret music store in Toronto has a page on Carlos Piña of Paracho.
  • Francisco Navarro: - perhaps Paracho's best high-end production builder.
  • Salvador Castillo: Salvador builds exceptional classical and flamenco guitars. We have a pair of them ourselves.
  • Hill Guitars: - Classical and Flamenco Guitars made in Santa Cruz, CA, USA. We own one of his "Classic Crossovers" - the first one, as a matter of fact. It's a lovely guitar.
  • Casa Montalvo: - Berkeley, CA, USA. Importer of guitars from Paracho, made by contract for sale under the Montalvo label, and a lot of guitar for the money. We've owned 3 of them between us.
  • Marc Silber: - Berkeley, CA, USA. Marc deals in a variety of vintage instruments and has a few new ones, too. Showings by special appointment. Worth it!
  • Acoustic Haven Guitars of Austin, Texas - hand crafted classical and flamenco guitars built by some of today's leading contemporary luthiers.
  • Paul Fischer - handmade classicals in the UK
  • Pimentel & Sons - Albuquerque, New Mexico
