Ignacio Paricio guitars

Ignacio Paricio was born in Barcelona in 1970. Before he started learning how to become a guitar maker, he worked as a professional model maker. In this profession, he learned to use high-precision machinery for working on both wood and methacrylate. His passion for the guitar led him to leave it all behind, and move to Granada in 1995 in order to learn guitar making with Manuel and Jesús Bellido. Some time later, after starting his own workshop in Granada, he would move to Barcelona, where he combined the guitar making with some jobs in set design, both for cinema and theatre. In 2008 he decided to focus o guitar making only, specializing in flamenco guitar. Ignacio uses Santos Hernández templates, and Manuel Bellido´s making system, with some small modifications which provide his guitars with personality, without losing the essence of the most traditional flamenco guitar.
