The cebu guitars are often used by Cebuanos as instrument for harana (singing outside a lady’s house) . Most istambays (group of people hanging outside) are using their guitars to play different variety of songs from alternative to love songs to rock.

Those guitars that can be found in the highways of Lapulapu City are not the most affordable in the area. The best guitars can be found in Barangay Pusok, found in the inner part of Lapulapu City which most people and foreigners don’t know where to go and what direction to follow.
Since Manny Maranga is directly producing his guitars in Barangay Pusok, he can sell these cebu guitars at a very affordable price from a range of P700 ($16) to P1500 ($34). He can be contacted at his house in Tisa at +63 32 4145989. Below are some of his affordable guitars using woods from low end(plywood), hard and good sound(narra wood), soft but great sound (nangka wood), great wood and great sound (spruce wood) and many others.
Manny Maranga also sells top quality guitars using high-end materials like hard-wood from Canada, spruce wood from Thailand, Fiber glass and many others.

So what are you waiting now, simply contact Manny Maranga and get an idea on how to have the perfect guitar quality with an affordable price.
hello,
if you want to get one of cebu\’s handcrafted guitars, you can visit Susing\’s Guitar in Abuno Lapu-lapu City.
they have nice guitars, when i say nice, what i mean is – the guitar looks good (they use solid wood and not plywood as what most of the guitar stores used to sell) and the guitar sounds good
i came across this article, a review of the guitar factories in cebu — http://www.igougo.com/review-r1186426-Guitar_factories.html
\”For the serious music hobbyist, however, the best-sounding guitars (in our opinion) are made and sold by Susing\’s Guitars, a few meters down the road from Alegre. Some of the guitars sounded at least as good as Yamahas, for half the price\”
they can also customize the guitar according to your own specification. cool, huh!
they also sell souvenir items (half the price from what it would cost you if you buy them at Alegre Guitars)
i have my own Susing\’s Guitar and believe me, after a long flight, it got no cracks. up till now, i still use it. worth the price although i did not spend that much on this guitar since they sell pocket-friendly guitars too!
