2021 Yulong Guo "Chamber Concert" SP/IN

A 2021 "Chamber Concert" double-top classical guitar by Yulong Guo, with spruce outside and cedar inside the top and Indian rosewood back and sides – pre-owned, with only minor wear in the finish.

Lattice Bracing and a Violin Back

Two ultra-thin layers of wood sandwich a layer of Nomex for strength, and the top is lattice braced for a full sound with clarity and balance. The back is arched and unbraced, like a violin's, adding projection and volume. A sloped upper bout lifts the fingerboard in the manner of the Thomas Humphrey "Millennium", and a 20th fret reaches the high C.

Easy to Play

With its armrest, side soundport, smooth frets and low action the guitar is exceptionally comfortable. Velvety and balanced, it responds quickly and powerfully.

Yulong Guo: Classical Guitar Maker in Guangzhou

Yulong Guo has been building guitars since 1983 and works in Guangzhou, in China's Guangdong province. He made his name with high-quality double-top guitars – student models as well as concert models such as the "Chamber Concert" and "Philharmonic", based on the soundboard designs of Antonius Müller.

Back to Tradition: The "Granada" Model

At the 2018 Musikmesse in Frankfurt he was able to examine an authentic Antonio de Torres guitar, and after playing a guitar by his friend Gabriele Lodi he returned to traditional building. His new "Granada" model won second prize at the 2nd Antonio Marín Montero Guitar Building Competition in Granada, Spain, in 2018 (see the results), and in 2025 he followed it with a model after the 1888 Torres SE 124.
