Carlos Lopez

For over 20 years, Carlos Lopez has been gaining a reputation as one of the all-time greatest electric guitar builders. Spending 16 years with Fender, working his way up from the factory floor to the Custom Shop, then to Todd Krouse’s apprentice in 2017 and finally to Master Builder in 2019. During his time with Fender, his solid reputation led him to build guitars for many of the greats, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Robbie Robertson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robin Trower and Eric Johnson. After leaving Fender in 2021, he founded Castedosa Guitars in 2022 with the hope of continuing his growth in guitar building as well as giving him the opportunity to work with his wife Stephanie, who winds the pickups, in turn creating a family-led business.

Premium Fit and Finish

Premium selected tonewoods in combination with meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail as well as superior hardware and electronics make this T-Style electric guitar a force to be reckoned with.

These low-wind vintage style humbuckers are beautifully open with perfect note separation and clarity. Wound in-house by Carlos’s wife Stephanie using premium components these rich-sounding pickups perfectly complement the prestigious quality of this master-built guitar.
