Classical Guitars

Our high-grade classical guitars are built from well seasoned tonewoods. The top is made of selected solid Spruce or Red Cedar, Sides and Back of Maple, Cherry, Rosewood or Caviuna. The neck is made of Honduras Cedar, a wood which is light but very stiff. The Fingerboard is ebony.

We make our own rosettes, which are available in several patterns .

We French polish our instruments. This seems the only way to enhance the beauty and the shining of the precious woods we use.

The bracing is classical spanish style and worked out to tolerate a wide range of humidity of air (between over 90% on a wet day in summer and under 40% in a well heated room in winter)

The guitars have a rich, powerful and clear sound up to the high range. A soft and warm tone can be achieved too.

Most Players state the playability and tonal response as very good.

there are several types available:

Standard, with a normal sized body and a scalelength of 65cm (25.6"), 64cm (25.1") or 63.4cm (24.9").
Small, with a slightly slimmer body and a scalelength of 65cm, 64cm or 63.4cm.
Long neck with the 15. fret on the edge of the body and a scalelength of 65cm or 64cm.
