An online page about Ferangeli Guitar Handcrafter
Originally located in old Lincoln St., in the heart of downtown Cebu City, Ferangeli Guitar Handcrafter, has been handcrafting quality acoustic guitar instruments since 1919. Now managed and operated by Master Luthier Fernando Dagoc, the custom guitar factory is now located in Barangay Pajac, Lapu-lapu City in the Island of Mactan – the capital of guitar making craft in the country.
Far from the crude tools of yore, Ferangeli now handcrafts its exquisite line of acoustic steel and classical guitars with state-of-the-art equipment and backed up by a pool of experienced highly skilled craftsmen and luthiers. These fine instruments are made under the strict supervision of Fernando Dagoc who is descended from a family line of excellent luthiers. Over the years and with his experience in various production processes, Mr. Dagoc continues to learn new innovations in guitar technology and invests in the latest equipment that is at par with international luthier standards.
Such qualities set him apart from the other luthiers in the community, and as a testimony to his superb craftsmanship, he has customized orders from different parts of the globe. Some of his classical guitar pieces are exported to established Guitar shops in Spain and the U.S.

A glimpse of Mactan and Ferangeli Guitar Handcrafter
As you fly into Cebu and walk out of the air-conditioned plane, you immediately feel the hot humid climate of Mactan. Lunch time can only be at Sutukil — a native restaurant where specialty is fresh sea food. You choose the moist fish, lobster, prawns or whatever and they serve it to you cooked suiting your craving taste buds. Nothing fancy, just healthy sumptuous food on a bamboo table overlooking the sparkling sea and its mid-day sun. For a group of 4 you’ll only be spending less than 2,000 pesos.
If however, for only one reason should you come to Cebu or Mactan in particular, don’t miss Ferangeli Guitar. A haven for quality, original stringed instruments. The Shop stands at Abuno, Lapu-Lapu city, the heart of guitar making in Cebu (A taxi ride from the airport is a mere thirty minute ride costing only around 100 pesos). You’ll be greeted by the owner Andoy and his lovely wife Aying. A very, very talented couple who has developed the stringed instrument into a work of art. Here you’ll find the exacting concert guitar to the extreme “T-back” guitar; ovation guitars designed in every form possible from the usual wooden “hunchback” to the intricate glued shells from the deepest parts of the Philippine sea.
