Torres model

Universally regarded as the father of the modern classical guitar, his research gave rise to a new approach to guitar construction.

This model is based on lightness, freedom of vibration, and the soundboard’s ability to transform even the slightest energy into sound.

An open, warm voice full of character. An immediate and natural sound, highly responsive and easy-playing, capable of great clarity and sensitivity, with a wide dynamic and expressive range.

Light and deep

This model is built around the concept of lightness. Carefully controlled thicknesses and a precisely designed structure allow every part of the instrument to vibrate freely, minimising the energy required to set the soundboard in motion.

The result is an extremely sensitive guitar, ready to respond even to the lightest touch. The sound emerges with natural immediacy—warm and rounded—offering the musician great expressive freedom and a wide dynamic range without effort.

From the thickness of the soundboard to that of the sides, every element is carefully calculated to achieve a fast response capable of producing a warm and full sound—the classic Spanish sound.
