Anyone have experience with custom Maestro classical?
 

Not the old low-end Gibsons, I am referring to the bespoke guitar company in Singapore- their BMOC Hozen did the Somogyi tuning workshop, and the story goes that he brought back a new set of skills to the company.
I have been looking at the Maestro website, although not cheap they offer a lot of customization for a very competitive price. It looks like their forte is steel string guitars, and they show up at some of the better boutique dealers, but I’m not seeing a lot on the web about their classical offerings.
Anybody have any experience with their instruments?

My guess is they are extremely new....I've known about Maestro for several years, but had never seen a classical. When I googled Maestro Nova, nothing came up at all.

I found it interesting that when I just went to The North American Guitar site (former Cotten Music in N-ville) They used to have a full stock of Maestros - now there's not a single one, and I know they had some clearance prices on them. Makes one wonder if there was some quality control issues.

If you want options, take a look at Hanika. No affiliation, and little experience with them on my end. I did try a couple used a few years ago and they were nice, but out of what I wanted to spend at the time.

Thanks fitness1. Other boutique stores do have stock, but I did notice the clearance prices some places. I was tempted to call a couple of these stores and ask about their experiences, but since I don’t have a relationship with them I would be worried abut the answers plus I wouldn’t want to put anyone in a compromising position.
Thanks Ceabebeaba. I have been to Hanika site, and they have an impressive array of options, but I have no idea what they cost and the 30” fingerboard radius is a show stopper for me. Perhaps I will write to them and ask if there are other options… I am particular to 24”.
I have run down so many alleys on this- I don’t want to pay north of $6k (half that is stretching it), which seems to be the price of admission most places I look. Kremona custom shop won’t do a custom neck profile, Godin has the perfect neck but no RW/Spruce/cutaway option. Several big names won’t do the 2” classical neck- only crossovers. I was leaning towards getting in touch with Cervantes- I have spoken to him before but have never seen nor touched his instruments. Maestro ticks so many boxes but is a big unknown to me. Hence my post.

Makes sense. Hanika has a good price range.
