Antonio Picado builds his excellent instruments with four assistant luthiers in his workshop in Berga, a town high up in the Pyrenee Mountains near Barcelona.
These "Concierto" models feature fine solid, top grade Canadian Cedar and very fine European Spruce sound boards, solid select Rio Rosewood back and sides, Honduran cedar neck and Ebony fingerboards. The tuning machines are the best Fusteros. The tone and sustain are exceptional with well-defined notes throughout and the workmanship is very handsome. These guitars are comparable to other concert guitars that sell on the U.S. market for as much as twice this price.
To see less expensive Picado models go to the "up to $3000" section.
