Miguel Acevedo started making classic guitars twenty nine years ago. He began studying classic guitar informally
when he was ten years old. While studying classic guitar at the University of Puerto Rico he got interested in classic
guitar making. Miguel had gained experience in guitar repair and adjustment while he worked in a musical instrument
store. In those years there was not much information found on the subject of classic guitar making in Puerto Rico
or elsewhere. Miguel made guitars under the guidance of Don Jorge Santiago Mendoza, a stringed instrument maker
that evaluated Miguel’s work and progress accomplished. Miguel never worked or had formal classes with Don
Jorge, but always has being stimulated by Don Jorge to study, experiment and develop the intuition necessary to
read wood adequately.
Miguel is a stringed instrument maker: classic guitars, violin, violas, cellos, the Puerto Rican cuatro, the Puerto
Rican tres and others. He also makes violin family bows, all of these of great quality. Miguel Acevedo is studious, a
tireless investigator and experimenter, always at the service of his customers and striving for maximum perfection.
