| | | | Notes: | The province of Cebu is especially well known because of the production of locally handmade acoustic guitars, bandurrias (Filipino mandolins), banjos and ukuleles. Already for generations the Cebuanos have been making quality guitars. The guitar makers are considered to be among the world's finest craftsmen. Maribago on Mactan island, is the center of Cebu's guitar-making industry. Here you can watch the craftsmen at work.
One craftsman is responsible for the entire production process of a guitar. This way of production process is the best guarantee for the utmost perfection and quality of the guitars. Approximately one month is needed to complete one guitar.
Today, numerous factories produce quality guitars made of rosewood, narra and kamagong for export specially in Japan and USA. This distinctive and world-class handicraft is a favorite souvenir of visitors. | | | | Camera: | Nikon D80 (Digital)
