Vicente Carrillo - Maestro NX 2024 (Gernot Wagner Supervised)
Overview
Overview
The Carrillo family started making guitars in 1744 in “Manchuela Conquense”, also called Casasimarro. As early as the 19th century, the town was nicknamed “El pueblo de las Guitarras”, the town of guitars. The instruments are still made in the same place by Vicente Carrillo, the seventh generation of the family to make guitars. Vicente Carrillo was awarded the “Regional Craftsmanship Award” in 2009 and the “National Award” in 2010. All his guitars have a distinctive sound that offers a balance between defined basses and sweet trebles. Innovation is always an important factor in his workshop. He uses a variety of construction techniques, constantly evolving to better understand the art of guitar building.Artists who play or have played guitars built by Vicente Carrillo include: Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, J.M. Cañizarez, El Niño Josele, Rafael Cañizares, Javier Limón, Keith Richards & Josemi Carmona (Ketama).
The Maestro NX model was born out of a collaboration between Vicente Carrillo and Gernot Wagner, one of the most important guitar makers worldwide, a trailblazer of the now established double-top guitar. As the name implies, a Nomex-honeycomb structure is sandwiched between two cedar tops and complemented by madagascar rosewood back and sides with beautiful grain and colors. Together with the double-top construction, the special design of the sides is part of the technique to deliver an unbelievable volume, while retaining a balanced tone and capable of a wide dynamic range and many different colors.
