About Málaga Guitar Project

Our passion: Music

Who are we?

My name is Manuel Escañuela, funder and director of Málaga Guitar Project.

I was born in Málaga, and from a young age, my father instilled in me a love for wood. I began my training as a carpenter and cabinetmaker at the age of 15. After dedicating my entire life to understanding wood, I decided to embark on a career as a Luthier, specializing in the creation and repair of classical guitars.
My passion for music, and especially for the guitar, drove me to build my first guitar at the age of 16 as a self-taught endeavor. I followed books that spoke about Antonio de Torres' guitars and tried to replicate an old Alhambra guitar I owned, the one I had used to learn my first notes.
 
My trade as a carpenter and my endless curiosity led me to explore other fields, including electronics. Little did I know that years later, all this knowledge would guide me to build electric guitars.
I enriched my experience by taking lessons with Maestro Chacón and sharing many conversations with Jose "Zepol."
 
In 2021, together with Hipólito "Crisanto," the idea of creating Spain's first school dedicated to building electric guitars emerged, and that’s how Málaga Guitar Project was born.
Nearly four years ago, we embarked on this adventure with the dream of creating a space where music enthusiasts like us could not only restore or build the instrument of their dreams but also be part of the thrilling process.
 
Today, as we look back, we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved:
·Over 150 instruments restored.
·More than 25 custom instruments built from scratch.
·Over 70 satisfied clients who trust in our work.
