Adriano Sérgio crafts Ergon guitars outside of Lisbon, Portugal, and it’s quite clear that he has a bold vision of how a modern guitar is designed and constructed. Unique designs, constructions, and optimal materials and hardware are evident. The hollow construction and 3D sound holes are a nice touch. Below is his Lisboa design — one of many designs he has. All are based on a body theme of 3D curves and sculpted tops, with truncated double horns. This is modern, avant garde guitar making!
