Santo Guitar
Special Items


David Santo is a guitar maker of over 40 years' experience. During this time, he has had shops in New York City, California, and Upstate New York. In the late 1960's he worked part-time here at my store as head of the repair department; for a portion of the 1970's he was foreman of the Gurian guitar factory when it was here in lower Manhattan. His guitars have the general proportions of the Martin "M", or "0000" designs, with some of them having Honduras mahogany tops and some Sitka spruce tops. They are beautifully made, and have the deep rich clear tone that can only be found in the best of hand-made instruments. They have some unique features, such as combinations of French polish and varnish finishes, geared banjo-style tuning pegs, and other custom touches. I invite you to try them.
