SAMUEL PÉREZ
I was born in Yecla (Murcia) in 1982. Since I was a child, I have always loved music and anything connected with it. I received violin lessons at the Villena conservatory (Alicante) under the tutelage of the violinist Arpad Babarczy, who aroused my interest in music. Since then, every instrument put into my hands, including the guitar, took on a much deeper appeal. At that time I began to work in a cabinetmaking workshop, where I learned woodworking and the use of tools. Later, driven by my passion for craftsmanship and love of the guitar, I became interested in the art of building handmade guitars. This search led me to move to Madrid in 2003, where I learned the trade from the well-known guitarist Arturo Sanzano. A year later I joined the workshop of José Ramirez, one of the most internationally prestigious firms in the construction of handcrafted guitars, achieving the position of luthier first class in four years. At the end of 2012 I decided to start a new workshop in the city of Murcia, inspired by almost a decade dedicated to the creation of handcrafted guitars.
CUSTOMER OPINIONS
I do not think it's necessary that I highlight any of the many positive aspects that these guitars have because I think they speak for themselves. You only have to play them or listen to them to know that this is a great instrument. What I do believe is that Samuel Perez is giving the great guitar players much to talk about.
It is not only the innate talent that this great luthier has, it is the enormous passion and affection that he puts into every minute of making his guitars. They are works of art!
I have a Flamenco I by Samuel Pérez that I love to play, not only for its tone and beauty, but also for its brilliant richness and projection, which allows me to accompany a violin when we play together without an amplifier.
I won a Concert Guitar (spruce) by Master Luthier Samuel Perez as first prize in the contest "Comarca de El Condado" 2015 in Spain. When I started playing the guitar I found I could get the exact sound, poetry, colours, accents, expressiveness and character I wanted. I have already played the guitar of the Master Luthier Samuel Perez in public, and this guitar demonstrates exceptional power, both in small spaces and in large halls. And what is more important - this guitar has SOUL.
Samuel Perez guitars have a very balanced and clear sound in both bass and treble, and a long sustain. It will certainly help you to be a better musician technically and musically ... Your musical expression is now a question of your limits and not those of the guitar.
If you are looking for a guitar with a balanced and expressive sound, surely a Samuel Perez guitar is for you.
