Meet the Pimentel Brothers

The four Pimentel brothers have inherited their father's gift for crafting unique and soulful pieces of art that, in turn, are used by their owners to create their own art. Their father, Lorenzo, found his love for guitar-making at a young age in Mexico and then brought that passion to the Land of Enchantment. Now, Rick, Robert, Victor, and Agustin continue their legacy, producing custom handmade instruments for discerning musicians and fledgling guitarists alike!
