With the perspective and experience of a performing musician, Leo Buendia began his career as a luthier in his hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Years later, he moved to Oakland, California to specialize in the construction of high end steel string acoustic guitars in a three-year apprenticeship to the renowned Ervin Somogyi.

​

Recognized as being one of the finest new guitar makers in the world today, Buendia Guitars is operated as a solo operation offering​ one-of-a-kind custom guitars with the depth of sound and immediate response desired by musicians and guitar lovers around the world.

​

Leo aims for power, clarity, balance, great overtones and ease of playing in all his guitars. He focuses on a bass that projects its voice well for contrapuntal effect, a midrange with good separation, and trebles with character and sustain to balance the focused bass.

Buendia Guitars has a waiting list of over 5 years and his guitars are well worth the wait. If you're interested in owning one without the wait, do get in touch!
