Bruce F Wood makes classical and flamenco guitars in Santa Barbara, California.  Bruce began playing flamenco guitar in 1962 part of a group of surfers who found a tie between the Gypsy music of Spain and surfing. Making his first trip to Spain in 1964, he returned with the first of many fine Spanish guitars and lifetime commitment to the music. He trained in both California and Holland as a boat builder, he began
building guitars fulltime in 1997 immersing himself in the Spanish tradition of handmade high quality instruments.
