Langcaster guitars & pickups, Bass guitars, The best pickups in the world ...
I have been a lover of guitars, played in bands, published rock magazines, had my own studio and recorded with other artists. I have made my own CD and have a tribute website devoted to rock stars that are no longer with us. So much fun and so little time!
When digital recording came, we all had problems recording direct into a mixing desk without the cursed hummmmmm coming mainly from monitors. It took hours of expensive studio time to control sustain and distortion.
I remembered the beautiful tables made of 35,000 years old Kauri swamp roots from my Dutch friend, Jaap Tediek of Kauricraft. I asked him if we could make a guitar from this astonishing wood and would it feel and sound good? After 6 months of a carving processing and looking for suitable parts of the root structure, we succeeded. An incredible guitar body that stops everyone in their tracks.
Then the search for noiseless pickups and controllable sustain was next! I had the need for a pickup with a louder and warmer sound. It took one year to come up with a pickup that had a world class sound with a new approach to pickup development. The world's first 10 magnetic pole pickup was created ...

After more than 35 years of experience as guitarmaker and founder partner of
prestigious companies, Antonio Aparicio, has acquired in his new professional step the
commitment of reaching the highest quality in the instruments with his signature.
In our new workshop, we have joined the best craftsmanship of our workers with the
advantages that offers the advanced technology applied to our first ambition: To build
guitars with the best sound and tone, with the best woods, materials and with the greatest
finish and beaty.
Any guitar of our catalogue, from the Standard series to the Signature series, is built
with solid top and varnished with the traditional finish, not with polyester. Our new finish
provides a better looking of the wood, a great sonority, and a brillant and bigger sound.
Each model has been designed thinking in the performance qualities that the player is
going to requiere to the guitar. For this reason, we have included several bracings and
the most appropiate woods for getting the sounding features that define each model.
Different inner compositions and the combination of the woods in the construction
make each guitar special.
We have selected the best woods around the World, the best crafstmen and we have
put a lot of daydreaming and ideas for building the best Guitars.
Después de más de 35 años de experiencia como constructor de guitarras y socio
fundador de prestigiosas marcas, Antonio Aparicio ha adquirido el compromiso
personal en su nueva etapa profesional de alcanzar las más altas cotas de calidad
en aquellos instrumentos que lleven su firma.
En nuestros talleres hemos combinado el buen hacer artesanal de nuestros profesionales
con las ventajas que nos ofrece la tecnología de última generación, aplicada a nuestro
objetivo primordial: construir guitarras con el mejor tono y sonido, con las mejores
maderas y materiales y con el mejor acabado y belleza.
Cualquier guitarra de nuestro catálogo, desde la serie Standard hasta la serie Signature
se construye siempre con tapa sonora de madera maciza y en el acabado se utiliza,
en cualquier caso, laca tradicional. Con el empleo de la laca se consigue una mayor
belleza de la madera, una gran sonoridad, un tono más brillante y una mayor presencia
de sonido.
Cada modelo ha sido diseñado pensando en las prestaciones que el música va a exigir
a su guitarra. De esta forma hemos incluido barretajes interiores distintos y maderas
adecuadas a cada modelo con el fin de obtener las características sonoras que los definen.
Distintas formas de construcción interna y la combinación de las distintas maderas
utilizadas en la construcción hacen cada guitarra diferente.
Hemos seleccionado las mejores maderas del mundo, los mejores artesanos y hemos
puesto una gran dosis de ilusión e ideas para construir las mejores guitarras.
