About the Builder
Lorenzo Pimentel has been building since the 1920's, first working at his family guitar shop in Mexico. He moved to the USA at 23, and opened his own shop in Albuquerque in 1951. In the early 1970's, his sons began working with him and have continued to build a full range of instruments, from student range to professional concert classical and flamenco guitars, steel string acoustic guitars, Requintos, mandolins and ukuleles.
