BYAHILO discovers the Cebu Mactan Guitars
Posted on August 21, 2008
Since time immemorial, Mactan has been synonymous to high-quality locally-made guitars. And it is an undeniable fact that people would oftentimes go to Mactan in Cebu to buy the best Mactan Guitar.
When we recently went to Cebu, we made sure not to miss visiting the shops that sells the Best Cebu Guitars. So off we go to Mactan to check out the Guitar showrooms and factories.
We checked out Guitar Master along Quezon National Highway in Mactan. Its store manager Mr. Ronie Pangatunan showed to us his several guitar masterpieces many of them uses ivory in some of its parts. When he tried to strum the guitar’s strings it was really a music to the ears. Their guitar sounds good.
I am not an expert in music but yeah, their guitar sounds good. He even showed to us some unfinished pieces that were custom made for foreign clients.
Mr. Pangatunan laments that with the mass production of guitars that are made in China, sales of Mactan Guitars dropped. Guitars that were made in China costs much cheaper but pales in comparison to its sound quality. they can’t also export that much because their major competitors (China) sells their instruments at an almost dime-a-dozen.
He hopes that one day, Filipinos would once again rediscover the music of the Cebu Guitars and will hopefully the sales would also increase to help the local industry.
