Vicente Arias – 1913

Vicente Arias – 1913

Overview

Vicente Arias (1833-1914) was born in Ciudad Real, in the south of Madrid. Such as Antonio de Torres, he started as a cabinet maker and was self-taught as a guitar maker. He probably started building guitars in 1860 and won many prestigious prizes around the world i.e. Buenos Aires, Madrid, Brussels and Barcelona. Famous guitarists such as Francisco Tárrega played on his guitars.

This instrument was built in 1913 and is very decorated. It is a full-sized concert model with flamed maple back and sides. An interesting feature is the original maple golpeador on the top. The guitar is perfectly set up and delightful to play. It has a complex seductive tone, rich trebles and deep basses with an incredible balance. Hard-shell case included.

  • 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.
