Excellent Guitar Maker Yulong Guo from Aileen Music

Yulong Guo has been building guitars since 1983 and has gained a solid reputation in recent years for his high-quality student-level double top guitars, as well as a concert double-top model based on the soundboard designs of Antonius Mueller. 

However at the 2018 MusikMesse in Frankfurt, Germany, he was able to evaluate an authentic Antonio de Torres guitar, which had a profound effect on him. He set his mind to design and building a top-quality traditional concert model, and prepared this new model for the 2nd International " Antonio Marin Montero" Guitar Building Competition in Granada, Spain. The guitar was a hit a major success and it landed him second prize. 

This is our first of thid model from him and we are pleased to be his exclusive US  representative for this model.

Just a look ar this and one can immediately see the bold, but classy aesthetic - the rosette has a Romanillos-inspired motif featuring black Moorish columns backed by abalone inlays, giving the guitar a dramatic and strong look. The head veneer and binding are snakewood, and the back has a strip of maple which and balanced across all registers, this is really a classy instrument in every regard and we look forward to many more of these to come. 

Congratulations to Yulong Guo for a tremendous instrument all around.
