David J. Pace has been making classical guitars since 2002. Pace was initially guided by the luthier Ross Gutmeier, and made guitars based on the designs of Torres, and then by Ignacio Fleta and Robert Bouchet. By 2010 Pace had settled on his own standard model, which combines the tradition of his earlier influences with innovative modern touches like a composite double-top soundboard and carbon-fiber–reinforced neck.
