Asturias Classical guitars are built in Kyushu, southern Japan, in a small workshop that employs some 20 people. Each instrument is carefully constructed using only the finest materials and the sharpest of tools. All guitars feature traditionally fan-braced tops, hand-rubbed thin gloss finishes, and bone nuts and saddles. At their price-point Asturias guitars are unrivalled in their quality and tone.
