Manuel Velazquez is the U.S.'s first internationally acclaimed master classical guitar maker.

A living legend, he counts among his influences Torres, Hauser I, and Santos Hernandez (to whom he is related). Manuel Velazquez's concert instruments are revered for their unusually pure tonal beauty, perfect physical proportion, and superb materials.
