this is my “Boutique” , the space where you can buy the guitars I play but also my music  and all the gears I use on Stage for a Performance, Clinic or Recording.

Guitar
I excluselively play on Alhambra Guitars. They are the only ones rendering the Passion, Grace and Fire of the music I love to play.

When I play acoustic the Alhambra Luthier India is my choice. It’s the one I also use for my recordings.
Cedar top, Indian Rosewood back and side, this guitar is not only a beatiful instrument, it is a piece or art in itself. Alhambra Guitars combine the highest standard of Spanish Tradition with the latest advancements in technology to produce the finest quality instruments.

Gears and tools:
During clinics you see me using the Planet Waves gears:

Capo, to transpose songs in a “one hand” set up or play Renaissance Music, Flamenco and more in your own fashion.
Pro-Winder to re-string your instrument with no hassle. Well design, the Pro-Winder fits right in your hand
