Frequently Asked Questions About Classical Guitars
How do I choose the right classical guitar for my level?
Choosing the right classical guitar depends on your playing level, musical goals, and budget. Beginners benefit from studio-model guitars from renowned workshops, while advanced players and professionals often choose a handmade master guitar. We are happy to advise you personally and can send detailed sound samples and videos on request.
What is the difference between a master guitar and a studio guitar?
Master guitars are built entirely by hand in the workshop of a single luthier, using only high-quality, well-aged tonewoods. Studio guitars are made in small series, often under the supervision of the master luthier, and offer excellent value for students and ambitious amateur players.
Can I try a classical guitar at home for 14 days?
Yes — every guitar you purchase from us comes with a 14-day home approval period. This complimentary trial applies worldwide to all orders, whether you are in Germany, Europe, the USA, Asia or anywhere else. We ship your instrument fully insured in a high-quality case so you can play it under your own acoustic conditions. If the guitar is not the right one for you, simply send it back and receive a full refund of the purchase price.
Can I try a classical guitar before purchasing?
Absolutely. You are warmly invited to visit our showroom in Karlsruhe, Germany, and test the instruments at your leisure. We are happy to schedule a personal appointment. If a visit is not possible, we send detailed videos and sound samples, and offer extensive consultation by phone or video call.
What payment methods and financing options do you offer?
We accept bank transfer, PayPal, major credit cards, and Klarna. For high-value instruments, we offer individual installment plans on request. Please contact us directly — we will find a suitable solution for every budget.
How do I properly care for my classical guitar?
A classical guitar requires constant humidity between 45 and 55 percent. Store the instrument in its case with a humidifier, avoid direct sunlight and large temperature fluctuations. Change the strings regularly and clean the guitar with a soft microfiber cloth.

Raimundo Guitars – Handcrafted in Spain
Guitarras Raimundo has been crafting classical guitars, Flamenco guitars, MIDI guitars, and acoustic guitars since 1968. Their models, handcrafted in Spain, cover a wide range from student models to handcrafted concert models for the most demanding guitarists. All Raimundo guitars are built in Spain following the traditional Spanish system, which guarantees a standard of sound quality and craftsmanship typical of this system. At Raimundo Guitars, all their guitars are handcrafted in Paterna (Valencia) using the traditional Spanish system. This system, which has been used by all Spanish guitar makers for centuries, involves connecting the top to the neck and then assembling the instrument. During the assembly process, a portion of the neck remains in the box, creating the “Spanish heel.” This system ensures a more solid construction of the guitar compared to the use of a dovetail joint, which is common in the furniture industry. Additionally, it provides greater stability and durability to the instrument.
“Guitarras Raimundo” has a team of 29 craftsmen, many of whom have been working with Manuel for more than 30 years. They produce over 12,000 instruments annually, with 85% being exported worldwide. The company has a subsidiary in the United States to distribute their guitars directly in the country.
Despite steady growth, the way “Guitarras Raimundo” is built has not changed significantly over the years. And this is no coincidence. They take pride in being able to say that all their guitars are still handcrafted in the artisanal manner and following the traditional Spanish system, inherited from a tradition that has been lost over time.
However, at “Guitarras Raimundo,” tradition and innovation are not contradictory, and their R&D department plays a fundamental role in offering new models and overcoming new challenges that add value to the instrument.
They like to believe that they never build two identical instruments; each guitar is different from the previous one. Guitarras Raimundo is the first Spanish guitar maker to have received the Spanish origin certificate for all its guitars.
