Description
Alberico Guitars: The first thing you will notice about my guitars is their simple beauty. I identify very strongly with the Arts & Crafts architectural and design movement of the early 1900’s, which was a reaction to the growing use of machines to produce cheap copies of elaborate Victorian designs. Too often today, the term "handmade" is applied to guitars built by an assembly line of workers putting together identical parts that have been cut by computer-controlled machinery. These guitars usually rely on the use of inlay for embellishment. The beauty of my guitars comes instead from the careful selection and use of materials in a way that emphasizes their inherent natural qualities. Ornamentation comes mainly from the grain of the wood, the joinery, and the hardware. Design elements of my guitars emphasize honest lines, natural materials, and superior craftsmanship. Special attention goes into choosing harmonious colors for all components to bring out the most desirable attributes of the woods ...

Cntarasi Guitars:
Mission:
To make a distinctive guitar! One that looks good and more importantly plays and sounds great. A unique guitar that is hand made using quality hardware, great pickups and good tone wood. A guitar that gets better with age. Most of all a guitar that is affordable to everyone who wants to own and play a great guitar!
Profile:
I built my first guitar in 1986. I didn't have the money to buy a good guitar but that's what I wanted so I improvised and made one for myself. The project worked out well and I got just what I was looking for along with something I wasn't expecting. I wasn't expecting to become addicted to building guitars.
I began to build and re-build all kinds of guitars. I tried everything from using different woods and scale lengths to custom electronics and finishes. At one point I even had a guitar with over 100 different pickup switching options. I learned a lot about what makes a good guitar and how to go about building one.
After building more guitars than I knew what to do with for myself, I realized that the guitars that I was building were playing just as well and sounding better than the expensive "name brand" guitars my friends were playing. More importantly, I was building them for a lot less money than they were paying for theirs!
It was then that I decided to go into business.
