Gerardo Escobedo was born in 1979 into a long family line of respected guitar makers – his father is guitar maker Salvador Escobedo, and Gerardo grew up learning the craft in his father's workshop with his brothers Jaime, Jesus and Robert. He built his first guitar at the age of 16 and continued his studies at the Escuela Superior de Musica de la EJUD. By the time he was 25, he was developing his own designs. He has won prizes in several major guitar building competitions, most notably first prize in 2007 at national competitions in Uruapan and Patzcuaro, and second prize in 2009 at an international competition held annually in Paracho with 500 participants! He builds his guitars in a humidity controlled environment in the otherwise very dry town of Paracho, Mexico.
