Description
Carlos Lopez the Founder and Builder behind Castedosa Guitars has been in the guitar making industry for almost 2 Decades. Carlos is prominently known for his work as Master Builder with the Fender Custom Shop. He has worked with artists such as Ariel Posen , Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Robby Robertson, Tyler Bryant, Josh Klinghoffer, Chris Garza, and Eric Johnson to name a few. In that time he has sought to master his craft and has continued to learn and grow.
He felt compelled to start Castedosa Guitars with his wife Stephanie Lopez as a way to continue that pursuit of growth. Starting this company is his “evolution and contribution to the world”. Castedosa is more than just a guitar company, it is a Family enterprise. His hope is that doing this alongside his family will bring greater purpose and meaning to their lives. Leaving Fender was a very difficult decision to make but his family means more to him than prestige, and that is what Castedosa represents.
