Our mission at Millennia Guitars is to offer well built, great sounding imported guitars with outstanding features at prices that will make you smile!
We take the specifications of some of the major companies top selling models and we ENHANCE the quality of the tone woods, fret markers, tuning hardware and electronics to build a better guitar at a savings to you. We DO NOT believe in 'stamping out' guitars like the brand names at costs of less than $100 per unit and selling them through retail stores for $500-$1200+!
As we step into 2005 we are marketing our instruments through partnering with performance artists who are on the verge of major recording contracts. They expose our instruments to fans and profesionals who we hope will see the superior quality of our products and want to play a Millennia!
We are interested in long term, sustained growth through quality, integrity and passion to sell a guitar because it is superior not because we want to make a 'quick buck'.
As we roar towards 2006 we will be developing relationships with companies from Europe and Asia and will act as their representative in the United States to distribute other superior quality guitars!

Rudolfo Cucculelli: I started studying luthery with my friend Carlos María Odriozola in 1976. My first instruments were copied or influenced from his professor's ones, Joaquín García Fernández, who has already come from Spain.
Around 1976, I was working with my father (making furnitures in his carpentry): after working all day with furniture, I used to make my first steps in making guitars.
The first thing Odriozola and I did was a drawing of one of the Joaquin's models, which were two basically: the big one and the small one. He drew with me in a big paper the silhouette of the big one and the small one, but the sizes were so different that we decided to make an average between both drawings. The result was this model, which is 49,5cm: see the draw.
I spend many years making this model with it's fan and bottom like the ones Joaquín García used to make.
Around 1980 I asked Vitali Import. Co. for a plan Domingo Esteso (classic) that I made with these materials: bottom and rips in Jacarandá Boliviano, cover in Spruce, handle in Cedro, and diapason in Incienso Paraguayo. This instrument was excellent.
Then, I made this guitar again in Caoba Africana, and Algarrobo, with similar results.
In this year (more or less) I met the flamenc guitar player Miguel Coelho, who used to talk about guitars and art in my home.
Miguel introduced me to Ricardo Gombock and Alcides, both of them from Martínez; and then (through this people) I met Roque Guagliardi, who used to talk about guitars with me ...

Rowan Guitars:
My philosophy is simple. If it is worth your time to do, do it the best you can. Anyone who is interested in playing a fine hand crafted instrument will appreciate the quality workmanship and attention to detail I strive to put into my guitars. I also know that the best guitars in the world are of no use to anyone if they are priced out of reach.
To this end, much consideration has been given to all facets of the guitar’s design. I have tried to pick the best available components providing the greatest return to the end user. Pattern grade Mahogany is the wood of choice for bodies and necks due in no small part to its excellent stability and smooth, rich tonal qualities. Quilted and Flame Maples make a beautiful statement as the woods of choice for the top caps on many models. Smooth, close grained Ebony or Madagascar and Palasander Rosewoods are used for the fingerboards which cover a state-of-the-art, double acting truss rod.
Starting at the headstock and working down you will discover precision Gotoh tuning machines; Rowan, Van Zandt and Fishman pickups; and Gotoh and Hipshot bridges. Solid brass knobs turn smooth operating CGE volume and tone pots. Switchcraft input jacks and knife switches insure trouble free operation and output signal handling ...
The first Sand Guitars in 1979 were customized classical and steel string acoustic guitars built for local professionals who frequented Kirk's Guitar Shoppe in Laguna Beach, California. Each guitar in those early days was meticulously hand crafted and the tone and playability of the instruments was a representation of Kirk's life-long passion for playing guitar. In the truest sense of the word, his artistry both as a craftsman and as a musician has lead him to build guitars for 25 years that satisfy even the most demanding professionals in the world.
Nylon and steel string acoustic guitar players continue to round out the list of Sand Guitar clientele. However, Kirk also specializes in custom nylon-string electric guitars of his own design that are the culmination of innovative design, craftsmanship and knowledge of classical guitar construction. The idea for this particular instrument grew out of Kirk's love of classical guitar and his desire to find the best way to amplify it. He consulted with clients, friends and nylon string guitar players of all styles and made one prototype after another refining the design. The result is an instrument with pure tone, even sound, subtle dynamics and one that is inspirational to play ...
