A house favorite here, Germán Vazquez Rubio's guitars have captivated us for many years. His instruments are notable for their engaging voice, balancing warmth with power, quick response, and single-note clarity.

Appealing to both crossover players and dedicated classical aficionados alike, this Carpathian spruce-topped Estudio model, paired with a striking Palo Escrito (rosewood) back and sides, makes for a versatile, lively instrument with excellent headroom and projection. With a thin lacquer finish that feels more like French polish, the Divina is a lightweight, dynamic guitar, quick in its response with a robust depth of tone. Dark wood binding and a multicolored rosette with matching purflings complete the very tasteful aesthetic. Includes hard-shell case.
