We are lovers of vintage guitars, and have been lucky enough to work on, and enjoy, many vintage instruments.
This gave rise to the idea of recreating the old, vintage style of guitars with that unique sound and feel that many guitarists seek.
By applying old-school techniques and selecting first class materials, we recreate that resonance and authenticity in all of our instruments, giving each one that unique character that you expect from your own special guitar.
We focus all our work on giving the client an exceptional instrument, faithful not only to the given aesthetic and technical specifications of a period, but also to their magic. An instrument to inspire and motivate you…
Charly Guitars
Finish: 100% Nitrocellulose Lacquer applied with methods from the 50’s.
We do not believe in relics, not for aesthetic reasons but for practical reasons. Our experience of many years steers us away from that concept, since the processes used for the aging of the instrument are based on abrasives and abuse, which accelerates decomposition (unusable bridges, non-functional pegs, dead pickups, rusty screws and paint that flakes off in pieces,…)
Our guitars have a finish we call “Under the bed”, which is as if you bought the guitar in the ’50s, used it carefully for a month or two, put it in its case and kept it for 70 years. We believe in the natural and personalized aging of the instrument, since the finishes are so fine and the nickel plating is of such high quality that it allows for a gradual, natural, authentic and wonderful aging that will depend on the owner.
