Coming from a family of broadly experienced guitar makers - such experience dates back to 1755 - Vicente Carrillo has managed to skilfully combine historical heritage with progress, also incorporating ideas and advice  from renowned luthiers and internationally famous guitarists.

Born and raised among guitars, he learned the trade naturally, yet he was always open to new contributions that  would allow him to continue improving his work.

In 2010, the Castillian-Manchegan luthier Vicente Carrillo won the National Crafts Award, a prize that recognizes  the quality of consolidated works. Such recognition was awarded to him due to his broad and consistent  trajectory, and to the great prestige he enjoys among the string instruments' professionals.
