A New Guitar From Carlos Juan Busquiel is Coming Soon to GSI. Check out the photos!

Spanish luthier, Carlos Juan Busquiel, has sent us some sneak peek photos of his next guitar that he is currently building for GSI.

Carlos was born in 1980 and started playing the guitar at the age of 12, although his formal musical training at a conservatory was pursued on the violin. Initially, he entered the world of lutherie as a self-taught builder who made electric violins for personal use. He became dedicated to violin making until he met Rafael López Porras who introduced him to guitar making. Carlos completed his training under José Luis Romanillos in a course on the construction of a hand vihuela directed by Jaume Bosser and Joan Pellisa. Meeting Jose Romanillos was very influential to Carlos and helped him with developing his own perspective on the Spanish guitar.

Check out the photos below. The materials chosen by Carlos are beautiful - it's a spruce top guitar with CSA rosewood back and sides. Let us know if you are interested in this instrument!
