2026 Teodoro Perez "Estudio C-650" SP/IN

The Teodoro Pérez "Estudio" and the Classic Madrid Sound

Designed and built to Pérez's specifications, the "Estudio" model is a fantastic guitar for the entry-level concert player on a budget.

The sound is very distinctly Spanish, with a full, romantic tone and quick attack. It still has the classic qualities of the Madrid style – great power, projection, roundness of tone, depth and warmth. It is extremely playable, with a very comfortable neck and great right-hand response. This is another great model from the Pérez shop, and a great value for an instrument of this caliber.

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.
