The dean of the western hemisphere classical & flamenco makers relocated from Los Angeles, California to Paracho, Mexico within the last decade. The master is still making fine guitars in the time honored way. With only his son to assist him, he is still creating beautiful sounding instruments.

Benito Huipe Flamenca Negra
Rich, yet powerful

This superb example features a Spruce top with back & sides of exotic Palo Escrito. The sound is robust and has all the drive and projection one would expect from a flamenco guitar, yet is a pleasingly warmer tone than the typical Spruce/Cypress combination. with hard case.

Gorgeous Cocobolo!
A beautiful instrument with gorgeously figured Cocobolo back & sides. Benito has built the body 3/4" narrower that usual, giving the guitar an extremely well focused sound. The top is Spruce so as to further enhance the projection. The sound is extremely responsive and open, with plenty of volume and character. The trebles are very clear, and the basses are steady and full. This is the instrument to play when faced with a large audience. With hard case.

Huipe Harlequin

Benito Huipe Harlequin
strong and robust
A strong and powerful instrument that has very unique appointments. The back and sides are comprised of one half Palo Escrito, and one half Cypress. The Cypress imparts a bright treble response which make the guitar very lively in the upper range. The Palo Escrito is darker, and gives the bass response an extra richness. A very uniqe and highly desirable instrument from this respected maker.
