Ivan was a completely invested professional through the entire process. I was going to wait and see how the guitar settles before giving a review, but there’s no need to wait. My guitar (Moroccan #1 2019) is one of the best sounding and playing guitars I have ever played, and I’ve played some expensive guitars in the past 27 years. The thing that stands out to me right off the bat (besides the beauty) is this has to be the best voiced acoustic guitar I’ve ever heard, hands down! I would buy from Pinol again in a heart beat.
Had a great experience building my fist custom guitar with Master Luthier Ivan Jimenez Jerez. Although it took 3 months to complete my guitar, when I received it the wait was well worth it.
Worth the wait for a custom build- received the guitar, beautiful tone, good intonation, excellent action- and the body is a piece of art
The craftsmanship on these instruments is unlike any other Ive ever seen. The dedication and commitment given towards each individual instrument is what makes these items priceless! Definitely 5 stars all across the board!
Probably one of the best purchases Ive made this year. The instrument looks amazing, and the sound follows in suit. The customer service was top notch as well. The president of the company walked me through possible options and made sure I was satisfied with my purchase. I would definitely recommend!
If you hear the sound of the Guitars Pinol ukuleles, youll understand why these Ukuleles are unique. And the wood is of the most beautiful that Ive ever seen.And the prices are very competitive; nothing compared to that can be found online or in stores. Congratulations Pinol, you have fantastic instruments!
Im extremely happy with my classical guitar from Pinol. Its a beautiful instrument that sounds as good as it looks. Amazing work!
I have a few ukuleles; however, I must say that my favorite has to be my Pinol. The sound and look is awesome. I get so many compliments on it, what an amazing instrument. Also glad to know that it is one of a kind,
Very well made and aesthetically pleasing guitar to play and to look at. The fretboard is rounded and makes it very easy to play. The tone of the guitar is also very pleasant and clear.
Fantastic instruments! You will not find a lower price for a handcrafted instrument from a master luthier. Ivan and his team are top notch. I own two pinol ukuleles and they only get better with age. I have owned high end ukes from the 4 Ks and I would put them right up there with them!
Everybody has a weakness, I buy ukuleles. Ive bought over 30 ukes and have had some great ukes and some that make good gag gifts. Bought one of their Cocobolo wood Baritone Ukuleles. Had some worries, since their luthiers were overseas. Turned out I didnt need to worry at all. The ukulele was beyond expectations.My wife states it is simply the most beautiful ukulele she has ever seen. And she grew up just down the road from the Kamaka factory and has a bit of that Hawaiian uke snobbery. This is not one of those ukuleles that was made to be wall art, but it is a player with a deep rich sound. It is has that fullness of tone you get in those Martin and Kamaka high end ukes.Soundwise I would compare it most to a Favilla Baritone - but the beauty of the wood and expertise in fit and finish goes well beyond my old Favilla. If you want a beautiful ukulele that sounds like it looks, by all means give John Paul and the guys at Pinol Guitars a call. They are good people who take justified pride in their instruments. They communicate well and take the kinda care with your purchase you would, if you were shipping it to yourself.If I ever make that jump to guitars they are on top of my list, I expect nothing but good stuff from Pinol Guitars.
Great guitar, great sound!!!
