About the luthier
The Carrillo family has been building guitars since 1744 in Casasimarro, also called “Manchuela Conquense.” Already in the 19th century the town was known as “El pueblo de las guitarras,” the town of the guitars. Today, the seventh generation of this tradition is represented by Vicente Carrillo, who continues to craft instruments in the same location. His achievements have been recognized with the Regional Craftsmanship Award in 2009 and the National Award in 2010. Carrillo’s guitars are known for their characteristic sound, which balances resonant basses with sweet trebles, and for his innovative spirit that incorporates different construction techniques while preserving Spanish tradition. Among the many artists who play or have played Carrillo guitars are Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, J.M. Cañizares, El Niño Josele, Rafael Cañizares, Javier Limón, Keith Richards, and Josemi Carmona (Ketama).About the guitar
This 2025 Grand Concert model, the “Gabriela II,” represents Carrillo’s most modern line. It features a spruce double top, Madagascar rosewood back and sides, and a nitrocellulose finish. Distinctive design details include an asymmetrical bridge and doubled sides, both contributing to projection, balance, and tonal refinement. The new 2025 version also integrates a titanium truss rod, providing long-term neck stability even in challenging climates while adding minimal weight and no adverse effect on tonal character. The guitar is built with a 630 mm scale length and 51 mm nut width, combining comfort with concert-level projection. It is fitted with Aparicio tuners and supplied in a hardshell case. Tonally, the Gabriela II is both powerful and refined. It offers bold volume, a richly textured voice, and remarkable sustain. The first string is particularly noteworthy for its seemingly endless resonance, which combines with the warmth of the overall tonal character to produce an inspiring instrument for both performer and listener. The basses are strong without overshadowing the clarity of the trebles, and the dynamic range supports expressive interpretation across different repertoires. The doubled sides and double top construction enhance attack and projection, making the guitar both sensitive and commanding in response.

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.Look all products of the collection -

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.
