Description

Juan Hernandez Concierto 2004 Classical Guitar (with a signature label hand-built by the master himself). A resounding success in the classical guitar world to this day, Juan Hernandez guitars always leave behind their own distinctive sonic signature. Indeed, across guitar-loving forums around the world, whenever these instruments come up, they receive a shower of praise and the deepest affection. The secret to that success, according to many accounts, is that he studied the bracing system meticulously for 10 years to help these guitars achieve perfect balance and a wonderful depth of sound. More striking still is the beauty and the details, steeped in distinctly Spanish culture. At times, they will win your heart before a single note is even played. First-hand experience: holding it in hand and comparing it against another top-tier Japanese Brazilian Rosewood guitar, I felt the two carried very distinct sonic characters. Is it that this current of sound is simply fresh and new? Or are they so good that, quick as a flash, they have already claimed the heart of whoever holds them? Every note rings out, lingering and resonating through the room. It feels like something utterly bewitching... hard to put into words. This is a guitar made and signed by Juan Hernandez himself, which makes it far more valuable than today's Concierto models of the same name, which are now made and signed by his son.
