" Montalvo" guitars are finely crafted beautiful sounding instruments featuring solid Engelmann Spruce or Canadian
Red Cedar tops, Mahogany or Spanish Cedar necks and Rosewood or Ebony fingerboards. The necks are reinforced with a
graphite stabilizing bar. The backs and sides are made of solid Cocobolo Rosewood, Honduras Rosewood,

or Cypress. These woods are well seasoned, and the guitars are guaranteed for one year against defects in materials or workmanship.
"MONTALVO" guitars are award winning highly affordable instruments produced in Mexico for
George Katechis Montalvo, a highly skilled master craftsman with experience in all aspects of tone production.
He has been repairing and selling musical instruments for 45years. He has studied silver and gold smithing,
Renaissance and Baroque Woodwind construction . piano soundboard technology, and the properties of strings under tension.
In 1990 he started the K&S guitar company, helpi Flamenco head stock with wooden pegs

ng to design and produce the guitars that company sold.
Since 1999 he has been on his own, working with many fine Mexican guitar makers, helping to design and produce " Montalvo"guitars .
He has established personal relationships with a number of Mexican makers, and is actively involved in the production of the guitars
made for him in Mexico . He brought higher quality woods, glues, finishes, and most importantly, American builders and restorers
to share their knowledge with the Mexican builders.
All " MONTALVO" guitars are painstakingly set up and final-inspected by George Montalvo
at his shop in Berkeley, CA. " Montalvo" guitars are the finest in the world for the money. They are hand made,
and constructed of all solid woods that are air dried and aged before building. These guitars all have a graphite reinforcing bar in the
neck, and have a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Many professionals areusing these instruments for performing as well as recording;
John Scofield, and David Lindley are the most notable. Many years have gone into the design and production of these guitars.
This has resulted in affordable hand made guitars that are unsurpassed in their quality and craftsmanship.
