Wilson Campos has been building instruments for over 20 years in São José dos Campos, a city in the interior of São Paulo state. This "sete cordas de aço" has a number of distinctive features, including back and sides of Jequitibá, a Nomex double top, soundport, armrest and truss rod. Note the headstock, in which the tuners are arranged in a manner often associated with one of Brazil's iconic luthiers, Sérgio Abreu.

Note: If you are not familiar with this type of guitar -- a Brazilian "7 cordas de aço" -- it bears little resemblance to a typical N. American jazz, flat-top or classical guitar. It has a mix of 5 flat-wound steel strings and 2 (the highest) of nylon. These guitars are used primarily to fulfill a specific role (that of playing bass lines, punctuated by chords) within an ensemble playing either samba and choro.
