David Schramm-
A gifted young luthier of classical guitars. David is constantly
experimenting with different bracing patterns and woods. He produces high quality, very
playable instruments that have good clarity and separation, power, and
sweetness of tone. Guitarists are stocking up on his instruments before he gets too well known.
Rick Turner-
Owner of the Renaissance Guitar Company. You will see Rick's
guitars and award winning electric basses advertised in all the top magazines. Rick is revolutionizing
the guitar with his unique and high quality instruments. His RN6 solid body nylon string classical
guitar has great clarity and a balanced sound that makes it perfect for all styles of classical
music, Latin music, and jazz/pop. Classical guitarists using a Turner guitar can easily play for groups of 500 people
or more with a good sound system. Highly recommended for club, restaurant and outdoor performances.
David Macias-
A very talented builder who specializes in old style Flamenco guitars. Mr. Macias has many
years experience building one instrument at a time. Players looking for flamenco guitars with the 1940's/50's
Spanish sound should seriously consider contacting Mr. Macias. His instruments are quick and responsive, easy
to play, and as light as air. Each consistently possesses a beautiful, antique Spanish Flamenco sound.
