WELCOME TO THE HOME OF AFFORDABLE, QUALITY HANDMADE CLASSICAL, SPANISH & FLAMENCO GUITARS
SHORT SCALE GUITARS - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
As a result of numerous inquiries and requests regarding short scale classical guitars, I have decided to concentrate on these instruments in future. I have made quite a number of them already, but will from now on concentrate on shorter scale lengths of between 604 and 640mm, with the possibility of any unique scale in between these scale lengths.
Please see in the menu on the right of this page under "WRC Padauk Short Scale 604mm" a typical example of such a short scale instrument.
Master Builder Replicas:
I build replicas of all the master builders of the past, such as Torres, Ramirez, Hauser, Friederich, Bouchet, Fleta, etc., as well as modern day designs such as double tops, raised fret boards, lattice braced tops, and so forth. Any of these master designs can be adjusted to shorter scales, and/or other modifications to suit your individual needs and requirements.
