A Perry guitar representsthe finest in design, materials, and craftsmanship.

Each instrument is the productof a deep commitment to make the most complete musical instrument possible, onewith the potential for the fullest range of musical expression.

Perry guitars have a full, opensound with deep, well defined basses, clear singing trebles, and areexceptionally well balanced. They have a broad dynamic range and an extensivecolour palette, and are capable of excellent projection. They are heard in manyof the world’s concert halls in both solo and chamber music performances.

Perry guitars are made usingwell-aged spruce, rosewoods, maple, cedar, mahogany, and ebony. We work usingtraditional methods to produce a limited number of instruments each year. Ouruncompromising standard of craftsmanship pertains to all areas of the guitar –structural integrity, playability, and all aesthetic details, but mostimportantly to quality of sound.

Inspiration

Our work is inspired by the greatmakers of the past, notably Torres and those who were inspired by his workbefore me (M. Ramirez, Garcia, Simplicio, Hauser, Romanillos). A Perry guitarcontains no carbon fibre, has only one sound hole, and one soundboard. Instead,it uses traditional designs that are known to produce great guitars.

Perry guitars fall into twocategories: Perry concert guitars, which use traditional designs and materialsin an instrument which meets the demands of today’s guitarists; and historicalreproductions, several of which are represented on this site.
