2025 Teodoro Perez "Maestro" SP/AR

This 2025 Teodoro Pérez "Maestro" is a spruce and African rosewood concert classical guitar made in Madrid, Spain, by a former First Official of the José Ramírez III workshop.

The Teodoro Pérez "Maestro" Model

The "Maestro" model falls in the middle of the Pérez line, and is made with beautiful materials all around, including African rosewood for the back and sides. Like every guitar we have seen from Pérez, the set-up is superb and the attention to detail is impeccable.

A Focused, Expressive Spruce-Top Sound

This guitar produces a focused, rich sound that is still quite dynamic and expressive – typical qualities of a great spruce top. This is a gorgeous guitar with plenty of power and refinement, and a great choice for concert performance.

Trained in the José Ramírez III Workshop

Teodoro Pérez was born in 1952 in the province of Soria, Spain, but moved to Madrid while still very young. In 1966 he began his apprenticeship in the famed José Ramírez III workshop, where he built guitars, lutes, bandurrias and mandolins. During these years, he had the great honor to meet some of the great maestros of the twentieth century, including Andrés Segovia, Narciso Yepes and many others. In 1970, after passing the appropriate tests, and with the approval of José Ramírez, he qualified as First Official, and stamped the guitars he made with his initials GPM.

Tezanos-Pérez and a Family Workshop in Madrid

In 1991, Teodoro teamed up with fellow Ramírez veteran Mariano Tezanos, and built guitars under the name "Tezanos-Pérez" until 2005. Today he builds with his family: his son, Sergio Pérez, who has been assisting him in his work since 1998, his daughter, Beatriz, and his son-in-law, Marco Tejeda. Sergio and Marco also build guitars under their own names. GSI is proud to represent these guitars exclusively in the United States.
