Meet Nick: Performer, Educator, and Luthier Expert

I am a classical guitarist and educator dedicated to helping fellow musicians find their perfect instrument and unlock their full potential.

I hold a Bachelor of Music (2021) and a Master of Music (2023) from the prestigious San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where I graduated with high honors. My commitment to my craft was recently recognized with a Third Prize win at the 2025 Boston Guitar Competition.

Beyond my performance background, I have a unique passion for the instruments themselves. My journey has given me the extraordinary opportunity to play over $4 million worth of guitars.

Whether you are looking for guidance in your musical studies or are in search of an exceptional instrument, I am here to share my expertise and help you find the guitar that will inspire your playing for years to come.
