The surfing guitar maker
- • Luca is a self-taught Italian luthier living in Fuerteventura
- • His handmade guitars take him 300 hours
- • He also makes timples, the traditional instruments of the Canary Islands
Luca Canteri made his first acoustic guitar in 2008, after reading a lot of books on luthiers. Luca used to work in IT, but he also played in a band. He wanted a new instrument, but buying an excellent one from a luthier was too expensive, so he tried to make one himself. The result was so good that an American guy, seeing pictures of it on a web forum, ordered a copy. Soon, his hobby turned into a job. In the meantime, as he’s a passionate surfer, Canteri moved from his native Italy to Fuerteventura, which proved to be pivotal for his new career. The volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean has the perfect climate for making wooden instruments, as the humidity is always around 50 percent. It is very important, because if the air is too humid, the wood swells, if it’s too dry, it may shrink and crack.
