About the luthier
The Carrillo family’s guitar-making tradition reaches back to 1744 in Casasimarro, in the Spanish region of Manchuela Conquense, a town whose long association with the craft earned it the nineteenth-century nickname “El pueblo de las Guitarras” – the town of guitars. Vicente Carrillo represents the seventh generation of the family and continues to build in the same place. His work combines this inherited tradition with an active interest in contemporary construction methods, always seeking greater response, balance and carrying power. Carrillo received a Regional Craftsmanship Award in 2009 and a National Award in 2010. His instruments have been played by musicians including Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, Cañizares, El Niño Josele, Rafael Cañizares, Javier Limón, Keith Richards and Josemi Carmona.
About the guitar
The Gabriela II is Vicente Carrillo’s modern double-top concert model, conceived to combine immediate response with sustained, well-balanced resonance. In this 64 cm spruce version, the sound is notably round and supple, with a generous overtone field surrounding the fundamental. Notes develop with softness rather than hardness, yet remain present and clearly shaped, giving melodic lines a broad, singing quality and allowing chords to retain colour as they decay.
One of the guitar’s most striking qualities is how readily it releases sound. Very little effort is needed to bring a note into full presence, and this immediacy gives the instrument an unusually cooperative character in technically demanding repertoire. Fast passages can be articulated without having to force the sound, while longer notes are supported by substantial sustain. Carrillo’s light lattice bracing contributes to this combination of continuity and balance, while the double-sided construction is designed to reinforce projection and keep the response quick and direct.
For the Gabriela II guitars supplied to Siccas Guitars, Carrillo uses a specially selected stock of Madagascar rosewood for the back and sides, paired here with a spruce double top. The 640 mm scale and 51 mm nut width form a particularly comfortable combination, complementing the guitar’s low-effort response and making complex left-hand work feel less restrictive. The result is a modern concert guitar whose strength lies not simply in volume, but in how easily the sound opens: rounded, overtone-rich and sustained, with enough immediacy to let the player concentrate on phrasing, colour and musical detail.

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.
