Coming Soon: A New Classical Guitar by Manuel Arango

Swiss luthier Manuel Arango first came to our attention at the 8th Antonio Marín Montero Guitar Making Competition in Granada, Spain in 2025, where he took home first prize in the classical category. We are thrilled to share that Manuel is currently at work on a brand-new classical guitar — and he's given us a first look.

This new instrument features a spruce top, Manuel's asymmetric fan bracing and a different rosette compared to his two previous instruments made for us. We can't wait to show you the finished guitar — but for now, enjoy these sneak peek photos straight from the workshop.
