About the luthier

José Salinas began his musical life as a flamenco singer at the age of seventeen at the Peña Flamenca Antonio de Torres in Almería, where he absorbed the rhythmic language, expressive phrasing, and direct musical presence of the flamenco tradition. His professional career began in 1998 after an appearance at the Feria de Almería, and he later continued his artistic development in Madrid, performing in renowned tablaos and collaborating with leading flamenco dancers on international tours across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States. Through this close contact with singers, dancers, guitarists, and outstanding instruments, Salinas developed a practical understanding of tone, projection, and response from the perspective of a working musician. Alongside this musical path, he trained as a cabinetmaker in his father’s workshop in Almería, gaining a precise and respectful relationship with wood as a material. This combination of musical instinct and craftsmanship eventually led him to guitar making. After building his first instruments, he opened his own workshop in 2014 and now works in Málaga, in Rincón de la Victoria. Although his roots lie in flamenco, his classical concert guitars reflect a broad musical sensitivity and a clear structural understanding of the instrument.

About the guitar

This 2026 José Salinas classical guitar was built in traditional construction with a cedar soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides. With its 64 cm scale, it offers a noticeably comfortable playing feel while preserving the firmness and clarity expected from a concert instrument. Its voice carries a recognisably Spanish character, but the cedar gives this character a special warmth of surface and immediacy of speech. The sound has a bell like brilliance, clear and luminous, yet never thin. Each note seems to hold a rounded centre, allowing the trebles to shine without losing body or elegance. What makes the guitar especially engaging is its ability to invite colour. It does not impose a single shade on the player, but opens a palette of nuances, from clear singing lines to warmer, more intimate inflections. The shorter scale supports ease of articulation, while the instrument itself remains responsive, lively, and full of musical possibility. It is a guitar with a bright inner pulse, one that allows the player to explore phrasing, colour, and contrast without the sound becoming fragile or overstated.

  • 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.
