Antonio PICADO
We have been carrying the fine guitars made in the workshop of Antonio Picado Cardoso in Berga, a mountain village near Barcelona, Spain. We met Señor Picado there in November 2002 and we immediately established a warm relationship. At that time the shop had five artisan luthiers under the direction of Señor Picado producing about 20 guitars each month, each one getting the full attention of one builder during its construction. The result is a superior line of instruments that offer exceptional value. Since Antonio Picado's retirement, the shop continues its exceptional tradition under the guidance of Ángel Genis and Carlos Prat, Sr., Antonio Picado's long-time colleagues.

This exceptionally beautiful instrument was built for a very discriminating and demanding collector, using only the highest grades of wood. Highlighted features include a specially carved head-stock, ornamented ebony neck re-inforcement, Fleta-style 9 fan bracing and a head-stock inlay matching the rosette.
With a very rich, creamy, robust sound, this stunning guitar also has great clarity and punch. Rivalling many concert instruments, this is a nearly-perfect guitar.
