Q: What do you mean by “Handmade”?
A: There is some controversy over the use of the term “handmade”. As a rule, a handmade instrument is made one-by-one, finished with your hands and highly customized (not mass production). In our case, a great weight within the identity of Bacce Custom Guitars & Basses is the fully handcrafted instruments production concept. Since its inception, our workshop has opted for quality in production, always custom-made and through artisan methods. At this moment, We do NOT use CNC machines, although we do have suppliers who can do these kind of jobs, if necessary.

Q: Anyway, I want to order an instrument to be made by using a CNC machine. 
A: There’s no problem. We have suppliers to make that jobs.

Q: What kind of machinery do you use?
A: We mostly use electric tools, like a Hand Milling Machine, Hand Jig Saw, Hand Sanders, and of course traditional tools like Chisels, Gouges, Carpenter Planners, Carving Knives, etc.

In 2016 we received the Charter of Artisan Bussiness in Madrid for the Workshop and
the Charter of Artisan for our Luthier Daniel Cabezas (stringed instruments).
This means a great acknowledgement for our passion, and of course, for our customers when buying one of our fully handmade guitars.
