The Castedosa El Caballo Tour is coming to Empire Music.
Join Castedosa founder and master builder Carlos Lopez and the Castedosa family and team for a special evening exploring the craftsmanship, philosophy and personality behind Castedosa Guitars.
This won’t be a traditional product clinic. Guests will get an up-close look at how Castedosa pickups are made, hear directly from Carlos about his approach to building instruments, experience our complete Castedosa collection and see the debut of a completely one-of-a-kind series.
LIVE PICKUP WINDING—AND A CHANCE TO WIN THE FINISHED SET
Stephanie Lopez will wind and wire a set of Castedosa TS-Humbuckers live during the event.
Guests can follow the process throughout the evening, from the first winds to the completed pickups. At the end of the night, one attendee will take home the very set made on-site.
BUILDING GUITARS THE CASTEDOSA WAY
We’ll sit down with Carlos Lopez for a live conversation about his guitar-building philosophy and the ideas, influences and personal choices behind his instruments.
Carlos has developed a visual language that makes Castedosa guitars immediately recognizable. This conversation will offer a deeper look at what inspires his designs—and why every Castedosa feels so personal.
THE DEBUT OF ONE-OF-ONE CUSTOM MARAVILLAS
The El Caballo Tour will include the debut of special Custom Maravilla guitars featuring one-of-a-kind artwork by Sergio Robleto.
Each guitar is paired with a LaRaza Fuzz pedal featuring matching artwork, creating a completely unique guitar-and-pedal set. Every pairing is one of one.
PLAY THE COMPLETE CASTEDOSA LINEUP
Throughout the event, guests will have the opportunity to play and experience Empire Music’s complete collection of Castedosa instruments.
Explore Castedosa guitars, basses and baritones, compare models and discover firsthand what makes these instruments so distinctive.
LIVE PERFORMANCE BY BROKEN SPINDLES
Broken Spindles will perform a special 30-minute set featuring Castedosa Guitars.
The evening will also include Castedosa merchandise for sale and swag giveaways.
MEET THE MAKERS. EXPERIENCE THE INSTRUMENTS.
The Castedosa El Caballo Tour brings together the people, processes and creative ideas behind some of today’s most exciting handcrafted instruments.
Join us Friday, September 11, from 7–9 PM at Empire Music.
