Every Mariachi group needs multiple guitars. Each of the specialized Mariachi guitars has its own unique character.
Mariachi guitars are typically made from cedar, mahogany or rosewood (or a combination thereof). Some luthiers also use spruce, walnut, maple, cypress and other exotic woods to craft guitars for Mariachi musicians. The finest Mariachi guitars are also commonly inlaid with abalone, mother of pearl and/or exotic hardwood species. The small town of Paracho in the Mexican state of Michoacan produces many thousands of high quality acoustic guitars each year, including for the Mariachi market.
