Welcome to the Thomas Beltran Guitars workshop on the web!
Since 1976, I have been building acoustic guitars. During that time, I have been blessed with many excellent teachers over the years. Probably the most influence, and longest relationship, was with Richard Schneider. I studied with him in the summer of 1983, but maintained frequent contact with him until his death. Since 1986, I have focused on classical guitars in the Ramirez tradition, as produced in the mid-1960s. The woods I use are primarily Brazilian Rosewood for the backs and sides, and Western Red Cedar for tops. I am also comfortable using Redwood and Spruce for topwood, and Cocobolo for the backs and sides. I also build Kasha Model guitars and a Modela Alemán model, based upon a 1943 Hauser Sr. guitar. The Modela Alemán can be built in traditional woods, or in other woods. Please contact me for information about commissioning your own Beltran classical guitar ...

What is most striking is the consistent quality of tone from one of Ray's instruments to the next. He has been able to develop a tonal signature that takes into account the individual characteristics of each piece of wood to create a remarkably complex acoustic chamber
capable of producing rich musical tones. This consistency is very important to buyers of
custom-made instruments.
One of the best practitioners in the art of mandolin and guitar construction today is Ray Dearstone, who has been
making mandolins and guitars for over eighteen years.
Ray's approach to building these instruments is not radical. He adheres to time-proven methods, with great respect for the classic designs. Ray builds mandolins, archtop guitars, and violins in the traditional way, applying great skill to carefully hand-carve the arched top and back, a process that tunes the instrument's body to its most resonant pitch. This critical step is required to deliver volume and tonal complexity.mandolin,guitar,violin,mandolins,guitars,violins,electric,
