Emes Guitars Emes Guitars ~ concert classical & flamenco ~ beautiful, bespoke and handcrafted by Graham Emes Music is in my soul and always will be.

"For many years, I spent my days working as a full-time musician and singer songwriter. However, little did I know back then that a time would come when I would fall in love with the art of guitar making! In 2011, I travelled to southern Spain to attend a course at the European Institute of Guitar Making in La Herradura, Granada under the tuition of Master Luthier Stephen Hill and his highly skill

ed co-tutor Pablo Requena. This experience changed my life because I discovered an insatiable passion for building guitars. Stephen recognised that glint in my eye and promptly took me on as his apprentice guitar maker, and for four brilliant years I learnt this special craft in Spain. Now, I'm a luthier in my own right at Hummingbird Studios, based in beautiful Voguebeloth, Illogan, Cornwall, where I lovingly construct my own fine flamenco and concert classical guitars in the Granada style of guitar making." ~ Graham Emes
