2020 Bernardo Romero SP/AR

A 2020 classical guitar by Bernardo Romero, with a dark, aged spruce top and quarter-sawn African rosewood back and sides.

A Lively Negra in Disguise

Big and bold, wide and full across all registers, the guitar has rich, controlled overtones, excellent separation, an immediate attack and great balanced sustain. Although a classical, it could equally serve as a lively flamenco negra.

A Rising Talent

Bold look, bold sound – another great guitar from this rising young talent of the Romero family.

Bernardo Romero: A New Generation of the Romero Family

Bernardo Romero is the eldest grandson of Pepe Romero and grew up watching his uncle, Pepe Romero Jr., turn beautiful woods into magnificent guitars. Gifted in both guitar playing and wood carving, he began his first guitar under Juan Miguel Carmona in Granada, Spain, and finished it in San Diego with Pepe Jr. He builds in San Diego, California.

Played by Pepe Romero

From the start Bernardo's guitars have been concert instruments, used by internationally acclaimed guitarists – his grandfather Pepe Romero has played them at the Rheingau and Schleswig-Holstein music festivals.
