The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me.

His passion for the craft helped him advance quickly, and soon after he was building guitars on his own. At the age of 23, he came to the United States where he began making guitars in a violin store. In 1951, he moved to Carlsbad, NM where he opened his own shop. It wasn't long before he'd mastered creating exquisite classical guitars. Four of his sons each embraced his legacy, and four decades later, the family name is known around the world as the best guitar makers alive. They're the only ones who make each instrument completely by hand, tailored specifically to each customer. The Pimentel brothers can't imagine doing anything else. Their expertise, perfectionism and love of the art have made guitar making their calling. They are Rick Pimentel, now President of Pimentel Guitars, specializing in Acoustic guitars, Robert Pimentel, Vice President, specializing in Concert Classical guitars, Victor Pimentel and Agustin Pimentel. They have each inherited their father's incredible talent and raised it to a whole new level, creating guitars unparalleled in craftsmanship and beauty. |
