Esteve 4ST
The Esteve company was founded in Valencia in 1957 for the manufacture of classical guitars traditionally built in the artisan manner for which Spain is renowned for. They are arguably the best high production classical guitar facility in Spain.
Today the factory employs 50 Artisans and exports world wide and is proud of their consistency and reliability whilst conscious of containing costs. Besides building under their own brand names - Esteve, Manuel Adalid and Juan Hernadez - they also build "student" or house brand models for many high end and well known Masdrid makers. Superlative build quality and powerful "Spanish tone" that belies their value-for-money price are hallmarks of the Esteve brand. For this reason Esteve is regarded as the most consistent Spanish guitar manufacturer today.
