Luthier's Biography:

Amalio was born in 1951 in Catarroja, a small town near the sunny city of Valencia. From a very young age he showed a great ability to make guitars. After working in various workshops, he was soon won over by the magic of the instrument with six strings -the Spanish Guitar. In Valencia the tradition of producing the best guitars in the world had always existed, but at the same time he admired some guitars that were made by individual guitar makers.

Using the best of both worlds to create a guitar within reach of everybody, special attention was given to every detail associated with materials, temperature and humidity and the way of making the instrument. Contrary to most guitar makers, he never worked alone. At first he had three craftsmen and then a complete workforce in the new workshop opened in 1994 -ten years after it all started. Happily, the original idea was a great success and the guitars were well received by the market and musicians. With this philosophy, new ideas were continually introduced to make an excellent guitar.
