More details about the guitar

Julio Baarslag Espinosa carries the legacy of two families with long carriers in the guitar-making world. In his own words he has “lived in the workshop since he was born, with the luck his parents would not take the tools away from him as he experimented”. He became a technician in renewable energies at the same time he completed his guitar-apprenticeship and finally decided to dedicate himself fully to the family’s craft. Since then, he has become part of his parent’s workshop, which has been open since 1980. Under the guidance of his parents, he has developed his own models, which combine traditional and modern elements to produce his own signature tone. This brand-new guitar by Julio seamlessly combines the traditional artistry of the Granada school with modern innovation through its double-top construction. While honoring the rich legacy of Spanish guitar-making, this instrument offers enhanced responsiveness and playability, catering to the needs of contemporary guitarists. Its swift reaction to right-hand attacks and lively, balanced first string create a dynamic playing experience, making it a versatile option for musicians who appreciate both classic Spanish sound and modern acoustic sophistication. Despite its impressive volume, achieved through its modern double-top construction, the guitar stays true to its Spanish roots, particularly reflecting the distinctive tonal qualities and craftsmanship of the Granada school. This unique blend of powerful projection and traditional Spanish character allows the instrument to deliver a rich, resonant sound while maintaining the warmth and expressive nuance that define the Granada style.

  • 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.
