... it was hard to convince my good friend Jesus Fernandez, guitarist, bandmate, painter and  great artist, to join the adventure.

We could summarize it in that we never try to invent or do something innovative... six strings, a body, neck, headstock, bridge, nut... (something these instruments have in common), they don´t go much further, but there is always tempting ideas...

In the luthier´s workshop, many variables were considered, combining imagination with years of experience. We work above all on ergonomics  and easy of use.

We look for neutrality in the components: wood, resonance, weight, hardware, electronics, etc, so that the set provides the maximum possible balance.

For this reason, among other things, we have chose classic woods: MAHOGANY, ALDER, MAPLE and ROSEWOOD.

The medium-grained African Mahogany, used in the StratArt and TeleArt bodies, provides  a warm sound and good sustain. Alder for RickArt bodies, emphasizes clean tones, good highs and lows, and high resonance. Maple, used in necks and fingerboards, (except RickArt IV, 1 & 2), provides with its high density, medium and medium-high tones necessary to obtain a wide spectrum of resonance in the instruments. The Rosewood of the RickArt IV, 1 & 2 fingerboards contributes a loud, clear and reverberant sound.

we ask ourselves. why use pickups with a lot of power, or special woods with a specific resonance, etc. etc.?.

That was not our goal. Almost anything you wont can be found in the general market

In the StratArt Series, for example, we chose the same pickups, (same impedance), and single coil, trying to recover the sound that was traditionally obtained by its placement, -neck, middle and bridge-.

We thought that by offering a clean sound like the one these pickups provide, only the personality and technique of the guitarist would give a different result. In the TeleArt and RickArt Series we use the same philosophy.

In the manufacturing process, once the frets and action have been adjusted to the maximum for a guitarist with some experience, the instrument remains played for a minimum of a month daily, subjected to different temperatures an humidity to check its trend.s.

After this time, it is readjusted, if necessary, and goes to the decoration section

Jesus, a very experienced painter who has exhibited his works for years, has a precious character and an exquisite use of color combinations.
