Most guitars found in the Philippines were from abroad while some were handcrafted and created in the country.
The most famous place known in the Philippines for producing different types of guitars is Cebu City.
However, Guagua, Pampanga, is also a famous place known for making one of the best guitars and ukuleles that are in demand in the country and outside the Philippines.
The Guitar industry in Guagua, Pampanga, started as early as 1901. Especially in San Antonio, Guagua in Pampanga, where the guitar-making sector has been the lifeblood of many families for many generations.
One of the shops where you can find locally handcrafted guitars made by the townsfolk is OB Guitars.
Olin Bandilla was the owner of the OB Guitars. Olin Bandilla started his own guitar store business in 2005, nevertheless, the guitar business was taught to him by his dad, who began making beautiful handcrafted guitars since the year 1946.
There are vast types of guitars you can choose to buy from OB Guitars. From Acoustic, Electric, Bandurria, and more. Besides the usual acoustic guitars, OB Guitars’ specialties are ukuleles and Rondalla.
They also have guitars for beginners, mid-range, soprano, concerts, and tenor.
Olin Bandilla also shared that he used to make guitars for the late Rock Icon of the Philippines, Joey Pepe Smith, and other Filipino musical artists.
The Handcrafted guitars from OB guitars are well-made and more long-lasting than most guitar products crafted from abroad. The guitar-making industry isn’t easy even for experts who do it.
Making a guitar is a lengthy process. It’s a continuous process until it’s fixed and perfectly done. It often takes a month to do one. We should be able to adapt and support the guitar products that we have produced in the country.
