2023 Pavel Gavryushov SP/IN

A 2023 classical guitar by Granada luthier Pavel Gavryushov, with an old spruce top and very old Indian rosewood back and sides.

In the videos above, Laura Mazón Franqui plays Carlos Rafael Rivera's "Canción" on this guitar, and Aniello Desiderio talks about his own Gavryushov.

Aged Woods

Pavel paired spruce aged 35–40 years with the highest class of Indian rosewood, also very old, from his best stock.

Open and Charming

Clean and stable yet open and charming, the guitar has a full, rich sound with lush overtones across the range and excellent balance at any volume. Its smooth neck and easy action make long practice sessions comfortable.

Pavel Gavryushov: A Russian Luthier in Granada

Pavel Gavryushov was born in Russia in 1969. An engineer from the St. Petersburg Shipbuilding University who worked five years at a nuclear power plant, he was also a guitarist, accompanying at the St. Petersburg Songs Theater. He made his first guitar in 2000 under Sergei Rusakov in St. Petersburg, worked in the Moscow workshop of Timophey Tkach, and studied in Granada with Antonio Marín Montero; in 2014 he moved to Granada and set up his own workshop.

Science and the Spanish Tradition

Pavel builds in the Spanish tradition established by Antonio de Torres and developed by the great 20th-century makers, bringing an engineer's knowledge of physics and acoustics to his work. He also runs a school of guitar making in Granada for students from around the world. His guitars are played by Aniello Desiderio and Dmitry Nilov, among others.
