Model 338
The Model 338 is a smaller-bodied plantilla (outline/shape of the guitar), inspired by the early Spanish guitars of the late 19th century. At the time, guitars built to these proportions were considered full-sized, though by modern standards they would sit closer to a three-quarter or parlour guitar. When paired with a 640 mm scale length, this size may be suited to those with a smaller frame or those drawn to the charm and intimacy of the early Spanish guitar tradition.
The Model 356 reflects the influence of Antonio de Torres, particularly his grander instruments, such as the 1888 guitar built for Francisco Tárrega. While the design does not replicate the original outline, it maintains similar dimensions, proportions and the flowing curves characteristic of the Torres style. Designed with an appreciation for balance and intimacy, while performing comfortably across both historical and modern repertoire.
Model 356
The Model 364 features the largest plantilla in my range and serves as my reference for what I consider my standard model. Its proportions have been refined over successive builds to achieve a balance of form, comfort, and visual harmony. It offers a familiar feel to players accustomed to the modern classical guitar, with dimensions that remain comfortable and well-balanced.
