García, carries forward the rich heritage of the Granada school, shaped through the teachings of Paco Santiago Marín and Rolf Eichinger. While his work reflects this tradition, each guitar also bears his own artistic signature. He builds both classical and flamenco guitars in various construction styles, always combining top-quality materials with meticulous craftsmanship. With great respect for the Spanish traditions of the 20th century, he creates instruments that honor the past while integrating modern elements such as double sides for enhanced projection and tonal richness.","products":[{"product_id":"dario-garcia-2022-la-leona-1","title":"Dario Garcia - 2022 La Leona","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eDario García is the son of Antonio J.

The character of the Granada school can be felt in Dario García’s work, while each instrument also reflects his own approach to construction, material selection, and detail.

It follows several defining features associated with the original concept, including a spruce soundboard, cypress back and sides, a La Leona style bridge, and a tornavoz inside the body. The French polish finish supports the traditional character of the instrument, while the flamenco style headstock is fitted with geared pegs that preserve the visual language of wooden pegs with greater tuning practicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLight in the hands and direct in response, this guitar offers a distinctly Spanish voice with deep basses and singing trebles.

He entered the elementary music conservatory for classical guitar at the age of eight, later expanding his musical interests to electric guitar and composition. His fascination with guitar making developed naturally in the workshop of his father, Antonio J. García, where as a child he spent time among pieces of wood, shavings and the daily materials of the craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eOne of his earliest direct encounters with lutherie came when his father built him a reduced size guitar based on a Bouchet plan for his conservatory studies. Darío was allowed to help glue some of the internal elements and place his signature inside the instrument, an experience that gave him a personal connection to the making process from a very young age. His father, who has built guitars for many years, has been his principal teacher, first guiding him through simple workshop tasks and gradually allowing him to take greater responsibility in the construction of complete instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eDarío García’s work stands close to the Spanish tradition and carries an indirect connection to the Granada school through his father, who learned from Paco Santiago Marín and Rolf Eichinger. At the same time, his instruments reflect his own generation and his own technical curiosity. He builds both classical and flamenco guitars, with a style shaped by Spanish guitar making while remaining open to modern construction ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 Darío García Concierto Lattice is a new classical guitar with a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides. Its lattice construction gives the instrument a modern structural language, yet its voice remains notably close to the feeling of a traditional Spanish guitar. Rather than presenting itself as a purely modern high power instrument, it keeps a natural character, with warmth, immediacy and an easy musical flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe sound is powerful, open and responsive, but not forced. The cedar top brings warmth and a direct connection under the right hand, while the Indian rosewood body adds depth and visual richness. The lattice bracing gives the guitar extra support in projection and dynamic range, allowing the player to move comfortably from intimate playing to a fuller concert sound. Its response is quick and uncomplicated, with a sense that the instrument gives sound freely without demanding excessive effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eWhat makes this guitar especially appealing is the balance between modern response and traditional colour. It offers the clarity, power and ease often associated with lattice construction, while preserving a rounded and natural voice that does not lose the familiar warmth of a Spanish classical guitar. The full French polish finish gives the cedar and rosewood a refined surface and supports the instrument’s elegant visual character. With its 650 mm scale, 52 mm nut, Gotoh tuners, Knobloch EDC 34.0 strings, this Concierto Lattice is a young maker’s concert guitar with warmth, strength and inviting playability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53994252501325,"sku":"KS17919","price":4990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/dario-garcia-2026-concierto-lattice-13.jpg?v=1779953656"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/collections\/dario-garcia.oembed","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
