Angel Gomez de Guillen

Since 25 years ago, the guitar has been my personal instrument, with I have learned personal and musical knowledge. since I was a child I had the desire to dedicate myself to a job related to music and crafts. I had the opportunity to restore some vintage guitars and this let me to thoroughly investigate the instrument. The next step was to start building traditional hand made guitars, applying the utmost respect and passion for this profession.

This is reflected in his instruments with exquisite finishes and beautiful sound. Ángel also builds copies of traditional 19th century instruments related to the folk music from the southeast of Spain.

He has learned from great recognized guitar masters as; Paco Chorovo, Carlos Juan Busquiel, Stephen Hill, Oscar Muñoz and Pavel Gavryushov . With whom he has learned a very solid foundation and has acquired various construction methods. His inspirations from him come from great references such as Antonio de Torres, Hermann Hauser, José Romanillos, Daniel Friederich etc.

Gómez de Guillén has participated in the best guitar festivals in Spain such as; Ronda Guitar Festival, Petrer Guitar Festival, Valencia International Guitar Festival, L'Hospitalet de L'Infant International Guitar Festival, etc. His guitars by him are part of the first prize of the Ciudad de Mula International Guitar Festival.

He also participates in the fourth edition of the Icon Talents project in Caravaca de la Cruz. In 2021 he was a finalist in the “Antonio Marín Montero” International Guitar Construction Contest in Granada , and his guitars appear in prestigious stores worldwide.

Each guitar that I build is a personal challenge, to achieve the best possible sound and quality, always choosing the best materials and high-quality woods.
