Peter Tsiorba Guitar Builder

Last Friday Mr. Peter Tsiorba at his shop hosted me for a very enjoyable afternoon of talking and playing some of his very fine guitars. Peter is a very attentive young builder located in my State of Oregon (US). He's really not that young, it's that I am so old he just seems young. I am very picky about what I like and don't like in a guitar so I am a pretty hard sell. Before I even play it, I have a fairly good sense if I am going to like a given guitar or not. I'm not talking esthetics as much as set up and feel. I have owned my share of high-end guitars and if the set up isn't right I don't care how good it sounds. Period. The first guitar Peter handed me was a Blanca. Before I played it, I spent a couple of minutes looking it over. I could tell right off, this guy has it pretty much figured out. Good low action all the way across. Neck profile was right on. This guitar had just the right amount of buzz. Personally I am not the biggest fan of blanca’s, but this one was a very nice guitar. The second one I played was an East Indian negra that really perked me up. Now I have been down the road a few times with negra’s and in my opinion most sound like classical’s with tap plates on them. This negra was really, really nice…not perfect, but very close. Basses where clean, but not overpowering. Mid’s were bright like they should be. The trebles were a bit weak, but this was a new guitar that had just been strung up. This guitar had very warm overtones, which I look for in a good negra. All of his guitars are French Polished, which was outstanding and his prices are very attractive. If I didn’t already own a Green Brazilian and a DeVoe East Indian, I would have an order in with Peter. In a couple of months he will have a Brazilian negra ready to play. So who knows, maybe I will have an order in soon! www.tsiorba.com Go on his web site and scroll through the pictures…nice stuff.
