Stories

For most musicians, the story of their instrument starts the day they purchase it, but with Delgado Guitars, the story began long before. Manuel A. Delgado takes the time to understand your needs for an instrument and build exactly what you desire and his instruments are truly made by hand. You will not find CNC's, table saws, molds or even other employees at his shop, because the process is done from conception to completion by him. Manuel treats each instrument as an individual and respect his clients to offer them that special care, so when it finally reaches your hands, the story doesn't begin, it continues. Please let us know some of the special memories or stories of your guitar or ukulele, or Irish Bouzouki or whatever have created for you. Send us your story and answer the question: "Does your guitar have a story?"

Delgado and Me
by John Schmidt

There's a picture down the hall
Of my buddy Delgado on the wall

I glance at it nearly every day
As I hustle by along my way

Someone I knew years ago
When life was simple and the pace was slow

For so many others, but not for me
That's just the way I found it to be

We had some great times Delgado and me
In the early sixties in West Germany

Delgado,he used to always say
"God's gonna slow you down some day"

"That's gonna happen,just wait and see"
"Then you'll recall these words from me"

The best of friends,that's what we were
Delgado and me,that's for sure

"Gado" I said,I called him that
"I ain't gonna happen,not to this cat"

Now he's gone,God rest his soul
And I've not slowed down,not that I know

So whenever I pass his picture there
I slow way down like I'm going nowhere

Since I know from heaven,he's watching me
And still he's saying"you wait and see"
