Overview

Drawing inspiration from the masterworks of Vicente Arias, Wolfgang Jellinghaus presents a guitar that seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary craftsmanship. In this exquisite model, the rich legacy of Spanish lutherie comes alive, reminiscent of the golden era of guitar-making, when artisans like Arias left their indelible mark on the world of music.

The guitar boasts a spruce top, carefully selected for its tonal clarity and resonance. This choice reflects Jellinghaus' meticulous attention to sourcing the finest materials, ensuring that each strum releases notes rich in warmth, depth, and vibrancy. The spruce top not only amplifies the sound but also matures with age, promising a tone that will only grow richer as the years pass.

Complementing the spruce top, the cypress back and sides are a nod to traditional flamenco guitars. This choice of wood not only contributes to the guitar's lightweight feel but also accentuates its sharp, bright tones and quick response, characteristics often sought after in flamenco music. The contrast of the light-hued spruce with the golden sheen of cypress presents an instrument that is as much a visual delight as it is an auditory one.

Every detail of this Wolfgang Jellinghaus guitar echoes the precision and artistry that Vicente Arias was celebrated for. The craftsmanship, from the guitar's intricate rosette to its refined neck profile, is a testament to Jellinghaus' dedication to preserving the essence of historical guitar-making while infusing it with modern innovations.

In essence, this guitar is not just an instrument but a celebration of lutherie's grand traditions. It invites both the player and the listener on a journey back in time, to the workshops of great maestros like Vicente Arias, while ensuring a playing experience that meets the demands of today's discerning musicians. With this creation, Wolfgang Jellinghaus pays a fitting tribute to the past while crafting a legacy for the future.p>

Wolfgang Jellinghaus "Arias 88" Classical Guitar Review

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • 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.
