Ariel is a luthier from Uruguay who was highly recommended to us by Bill Kanengiser of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. We were able to check out one of his instruments with a maple back and immediately ordered one in Indian Rosewood for Trilogy.

This is now our third guitar from Ariel but this time it's a cedar!

Ariel is a 2nd generation builder who learned the craft under his father, Manuel Ameijenda, who helped instill a passion for not only classical guitar, but for renaissance and baroque instruments as well. Ariel then expanded his knowledge through Musicology studies at the University level with his attention focused on acoustics and history as well spending time in India learning Sitar and the construction of Indian classical instruments.
