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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54085237211469,"sku":"S18983","price":5033.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/jose-salinas-2026-cedar-64-13.jpg?v=1781175859","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/jose-salinas-2026-cedar-64-cm","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
