Overview
Overview
The Carrillo family started building guitars 1744 in “Manchuela Conquense” also called Casasimarro. As far back as the 19th century, the town was nicknamed “El pueblo de las Guitarras” the town of the guitars. The instruments are still being built in the same place by Vicente Carrillo the seventh generation luthier of the family.
Vicente Carrillo was awarded the ”Regional Craftsmanship award” in 2009 and also the ”National Award” in 2010. His guitars all have a special sound, reaching a satisfying balance between bearing basses and sweet trebles. Innovation is always a factor in his workshop, utilizing various different construction techniques, therefore being in the constant progression towards a greater understanding of the art of lutherie. Artists who play and have played guitars built by Vicente Carrillo are among others: Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, J.M. Cañizarez, El Niño Josele, Rafael Cañizares, Javier Limón, Keith Richards & Josemi Carmona (Ketama).
The "Gabriela" model from the Carrillo workshop is one of their top models, featuring the finest materials and exquisite inlay work, especially noticeable in the top purflings. This guitar stands out with its innovative double-sided construction, combining the elegance of Madagascar Rosewood for the outer layer with the tonal richness of Indian Rosewood for the inner layer. This thoughtful design enhances the guitar's volume and power, ideal for concert stage performances, by channeling the vibration more effectively towards the soundboard and minimizing energy loss to the sides. The cedar version of the "Gabriela" model offers a refined voice that is exceptionally well-balanced, characterized by bright, silky trebles and profound basses. Its clarity and separation are remarkable, providing a warm and full-bodied sound. Additionally, the elegantly shaped neck ensures optimal playability, making it an outstanding choice for serious concert performers who demand both aesthetic beauty and superior sound quality in their instrument.

Classical Guitars
The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.Look all products of the collection -
