In his own words he has “lived in the workshop since he was born, with the luck his parents would not take the tools away from him as he experimented”. He became a technician in renewable energies at the same time he completed his guitar-apprenticeship and finally decided to dedicate himself fully to the family’s craft. Since then, he has become part of his parent’s workshop, which has been open since 1980. Under the guidance of his parents, he has developed his own models, which combine traditional and modern elements to produce his own signature tone.\r\n\r\nThis brand-new guitar by Julio seamlessly combines the traditional artistry of the Granada school with modern innovation through its double-top construction. While honoring the rich legacy of Spanish guitar-making, this instrument offers enhanced responsiveness and playability, catering to the needs of contemporary guitarists. Its swift reaction to right-hand attacks and lively, balanced first string create a dynamic playing experience, making it a versatile option for musicians who appreciate both classic Spanish sound and modern acoustic sophistication. Despite its impressive volume, achieved through its modern double-top construction, the guitar stays true to its Spanish roots, particularly reflecting the distinctive tonal qualities and craftsmanship of the Granada school. This unique blend of powerful projection and traditional Spanish character allows the instrument to deliver a rich, resonant sound while maintaining the warmth and expressive nuance that define the Granada style.","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52473011142989,"sku":"S18359","price":7990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/julio-baarslag-2024-doubletop-15_o13jwqkc9mtw46urd5mf.jpg?v=1761121942"},{"product_id":"julio-baarslag-espinosa-2025-doubletop","title":"Julio Baarslag Espinosa - 2025 Double top","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eJulio Baarslag Espinosa represents the continuation of two deep-rooted lutherie traditions.
