Casa Vicente
A guitar is a voice waiting in the wood.
Casa Vicente is a fictional family workshop on Granada’s Cuesta de Gomérez. The experience turns three luthiers, three instruments, and one shared bench into a digital system where maker, material, and musical character remain connected.
The premise
A family workshop, not a boutique.
A conventional product site can reduce a handmade guitar to photography, specifications, and price. Casa Vicente begins with a different question: who shaped this instrument, how did they listen to it, and what kind of player is it waiting for?
Every model has a temperament, every instrument names its builder, and every commission begins with the player’s touch, repertoire, and room—not a generic configuration form.
Product principles
The world becomes a working system.
01
Temperament before tier
La Clásica, La Blanca, and La Negra are differentiated by voice, response, materials, and musical purpose—not by a good-better-best hierarchy.
02
Keep the maker attached
The builder’s name travels from the collection into the guitar record and luthier profile, making authorship part of the product rather than supporting brand copy.
03
Commission the player needs
The inquiry begins with repertoire, touch, and performance context. The system frames customization as listening before making.
Built proof
A concept carried into code.
