More from my trip to Cebu.

In the factory, the instruments are handcrafted.

Besides guitars, they make banjos and ukeleles.

Their instruments are of export quality. 

The craftsmen are used to visitors and are happy to answer questions.

Look at this weird-looking guitar! It's one of many in the factory showroom, which contains guitars of various shapes and sizes. A string quartet serenaded us while we browsed.

An Alegre guitar can cost mere hundreds to several thousands of pesos. If you're not keen on playing one, you can take one of these souvenir guitars home. Their gift shop also sells keychains, and refrigerator magnets, and (my favorite) wooden bangles.
