Paulino Bernabé - 2021 Jubilee 60th

Paulino Bernabé - 2021 Jubilee 60th

Overview

Bernabé Sr. (* 2. Juli 1932 in Madrid; † 10. Mai 2007 Madrid) was one of the greatest and most renowned luthiers from Spain. Before he founded his first workshop in 1969, where he worked along with his son Paulino Jr. from the 1980s onwards, Paulino Sr. worked in José Ramirez III’s workshop in the 1950s and 1960s. Bernabe guitars are still played in major venues all around the world today. Thibaut Garcia for instance, the winner of the 2016 Guitar Foundation of America (GFA) competition, has been playing on a Bernabe for several years.

The Jubilee model is a beautiful special edition by Paulino Bernabé Jr. commemorating his 60th birthday this year 2020. This Jubilee guitar is also a reminder of the Maestro's many years of passionate work, combining all his experience and craftsmanship with specially selected and rare woods, from old stocks that are a small treasure in themselves. This instrument is the third guitar in the Jubilee Series and the only one built with Cites-certified Rio Rosewood. It is a great instrument with filigree and generous ornamentation. It has all the depth and subtlety of the typical Bernabé sound, with excellent and expressive volume and perfect playability.

We congratulate Maestro Paulino Bernbabé on this accomplished guitar on his 60th birthday and thank him and his whole family for the work they have done over all these years, making a significant contribution to the history of the classical guitar.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitar

    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.
