More details about the guitar

About the luthier

Jose Antonio Lagunar was introduced to the world of guitar making through his uncle, Alfredo Lagunar, who served for decades as the first official luthier at Guitarras Contreras, one of Spain’s most respected guitar workshops. Under his uncle’s guidance, Jose Antonio absorbed the full depth of traditional Spanish guitar building, learning every step in the process with patience and precision. After more than thirty years of experience in the field, he launched his own workshop and brand, where he continues to explore new ideas rooted in the solid foundation of his training. His philosophy treats each instrument as a unique story, shaped by the maker’s evolution and the specific needs of the guitarist.

About the guitar

The 2019 “Concierto 1a Especial N.32” by Jose Antonio Lagunar showcases his personal approach to modern guitar construction. It features an original lattice bracing system of his own design, which integrates the tonal clarity and brightness typical of traditional Spanish guitars with the projection and extended sustain often associated with lattice-braced instruments. The result is a sound that is both articulate and responsive, with remarkable dynamic range. The guitar features a cedar top paired with Madagascar rosewood back and sides, resulting in a warm and richly textured tone. The polyurethane finish offers durability while preserving the visual elegance of the woods. With a 650 mm scale, 52 mm nut and Gotoh tuners, the instrument also offers a very comfortable neck profile. It is an ideal choice for players seeking a powerful, modern concert guitar that maintains a strong link to Spanish tradition.

Condition

This guitar is in mint condition, showing few if any signs of wear. Its structural and aesthetic features are impeccably preserved, making it an excellent acquisition for performers or collectors alike.

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.

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.
