Your Handprint Inspires Our Craft


"At Pajarito Guitars, each build is a testament to individuality. My guitars are not just instruments; they are unique works of art. I don't replicate others' designs – every guitar I craft has its own story, its own soul. If my work resonates with you, I'm here to handcraft a guitar that's exclusively yours.

I specialize in building guitars for those who find standard sizes less accommodating, be it for smaller or larger hands. Most off-the-shelf guitars cater to a 9-inch hand span, but that doesn't work for everyone. To find your perfect fit, simply extend your fretting hand fully and measure from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your pinky. This measurement is the key to a guitar that feels like it was made just for you."

Crafting Excellence


"In every guitar I craft, I insist on using only the finest materials. The idea of settling for 'paint grade' tops in my handcrafted instruments is unthinkable to me. My commitment to building guitars that accommodate atypical sizes means I often have to custom-make components like rosettes and bridges. It's in these intricacies and unique details where I find true satisfaction in my work. For me, it’s about creating something exceptional in both quality and design."
