Arias guitars are finely hand made by experienced luthiers, one at a time, from selected solid wood of the highest grades. Each guitar is made from start to finish by only one luthier.
Our production is very limited, of only a few instruments per month. We use high quality selected materials and components from our providers in Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina, United States, Germany, Spain, Canada, Netherlands, Italy, and other countries.
All our wood is SOLID. We do NOT use laminated wood (plywood). We use the highest grades of Western Red Cedar, Engelmann Spruce, Sitka Spruce, and Italian Fiemme Spruce for Tops; and for Back and Sides, the highest grades of East Indian Rosewood, Pau Ferro (Bolivian Jacaranda), and Brazilian Rosewood.
Internationally acclaimed classic guitar player Luz Maria Bobadilla now plays in concerts with an Arias guitar.
