At the age of 14, Lorenzo Pimentel began apprenticing at his brothers’ guitar shop in Mexico. Soon he was building guitars of his own. He came to the United States at 23 and began crafting guitars in a violin store. In 1951 he moved to Carlsbad and opened his own shop. Soon he mastered creating exquisite classical guitars. Four of his sons embraced this legacy, and today, the family name is associated with the best classical guitars in the world.
