Our previous bespoke build with Mark was very successful so we are so excited about this build.

As you checked out MW’s recent Luthier Stories, Mark just graduated from his apprenticeship to Ervin Somogyi. Mark’s departure from Ervin’s workshop will be happening sometime in 2019. So we grabbed 2 build slots for 2019 delivery. This bespoke build is sold to one of our clients. Mark has already started this build so gotta share this with you guys!
As the long-term plan for Gaiero guitars, Mark doesn't want to hold to the same aesthetic appointments repeatedly. He would love to try a variation from the current Micro Mosaic Pattern.
The client of this build also agreed to Mark's philosophy so we will see something different this time!
