The craft runs in the family: Manuel Ameijenda himself was trained by Juan Carlos Santurion, a pupil of Ignacio Fleta. Through this lineage, Ariel inherited a direct connection to the Spanish tradition of guitar making.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nFrom an early age, Ariel worked alongside his father in the workshop, acquiring practical mastery of construction techniques and developing a refined understanding of tonal balance and structural discipline. In 1997 he established his own workshop in Montevideo, supplying classical guitars and period string instruments to musicians internationally. Since 2014 he has been based near Piriápolis on the eastern coast of Uruguay, where he continues to build instruments rooted in tradition and defined by clarity of voice.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThis 2018 traditional model features a cedar soundboard and Uruguayan blackwood back and sides. The instrument presents a notably airy and woody tonal profile, with a round and dark core that gives the sound depth and substance. The basses are deep and powerful, forming a stable foundation that supports the overall tonal architecture.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThe trebles emerge smoothly from this darker spectrum, remaining full and lyrical rather than sharp. The overall sound is warm, yet it carries with authority and projection when required. Despite its depth, the voice does not feel heavy. It retains openness and clarity, allowing detailed articulation within a broad dynamic range.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThe neck profile and setup provide a very comfortable playing experience, supporting ease in both left hand positioning and right hand control. The response is immediate and reliable, making the instrument well suited for expressive concert performance while maintaining physical comfort over extended playing sessions.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nVery good condition. There is a repaired crack along the centre of the back behind the label. The repair is contained and stable and required no cleats. The finish has been refreshed and is in excellent overall condition.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53389915160909,"sku":"KS17849","price":5490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/Ariel-Ameijenda-2018-15.jpg?v=1771503429","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/ariel-ameijenda-2018","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
