With training in design and architecture, Pablo began studying lutherie at the EMAO in Vigo in 2009 and took courses with Romanillos in Sigüenza in 2010 and 2012.

He deepened his training in England and Belgium and since 2014 he has been dedicated to the construction of guitars and training of new guitar makers.

Since 2020 he has had the workshop in his native city, A Coruña.

To pay homage to Romanillos, Pablo has built the Aciñeira guitar with a method and details inspired by the master's guitars, including some pieces of holm oak wood that José himself had given him some years ago.

 

ACIÑEIRA

Pablo describes the construction of this guitar in the following words:

"The template for the Torres SE114 has been used, which is very similar in size to the one used by José in his latest guitars. Torres-style bracing, with José's method and work style.

The curly pear tree used for the sides and back does not go unnoticed, the latter in 4 pieces, as both Torres and Romanillos did on several of their guitars. Although it is not a traditional type of wood, it works wonderfully both acoustically and aesthetically.

Includes some elements of oak wood in the rosette (from some pieces of trunk that José himself gave me years ago)"
