Electric guitars
Model Pacheco n°1

The first amplified electromagnetic systems applied to the guitar appeared in the 1930s in the United States. Since then, the evolution of this instrument has seen many stylistic, acoustic and musical innovations.

The design of this electric guitar is inspired by several stylistic and acoustic references. The work of Marcelino López Nieto, Ramírez, Gibson Les Paul Custom, PRS, Gibson 335, Washburn N4, Gibson Firebird, Prince's guitar, etc. The shape of the body is based on the template of a late 18th century Italian romantic guitar. The entire design was carried out in collaboration with the guitarist Diego Pacheco in order to achieve an instrument that precisely meets his functional and acoustic expectations. The instrument was made entirely by hand without the use of machine tools, using a crankshaft and a hand saw.
