guadalupe custom strings

A HandMade Tradition

our company was born out of a necessity to create and produce the appropriate, high-quality strings for regional musicians from all over the world. Since 1990, guadalupe custom Strings has been making traditional strings for traditional music, by hand. We have worked with luthiers and musicians internationally to develop the highest quality strings available for mariachi instruments, bajo quinto, ukulele, son jarocho and much more. Our legacy began with francisco gonzalez, founding former-member of los lobos del este de los angeles. and we continue today, in east Los Angeles. strings made by musicians, for musicians.

Our small team works out of a workshop in East L.A. We do not have regular hours, and although we do sell directly to the public, it is always best to call ahead and make sure we will be there. 

When making orders on our website, please remember that our strings are hand made to order and it usually takes from 1-3 weeks to deliver depending  on what you order. If you are in need of strings right away, you may want to contact one of our many distributors.

Guadalupe custom strings is privately owned and collectively run through a partnership of artisans. We are a fair trade and fair practice business.
