Jose Antonio Lagunar – 2019 – Concierto 1a Especial N.32

About the luthier

Jose Antonio Lagunar was introduced to the world of guitar making through his uncle, Alfredo Lagunar, who served for decades as the first official luthier at Guitarras Contreras, one of Spains most respected guitar workshops. Under his uncles guidance, Jose Antonio absorbed the full depth of traditional Spanish guitar building, learning every step in the process with patience and precision. After more than thirty years of experience in the field, he launched his own workshop and brand, where he continues to explore new ideas rooted in the solid foundation of his training. His philosophy treats each instrument as a unique story, shaped by the makers evolution and the specific needs of the guitarist.

About the guitar

The 2019 Concierto 1a Especial N.32 by Jose Antonio Lagunar showcases his personal approach to modern guitar construction. It features an original lattice bracing system of his own design, which integrates the tonal clarity and brightness typical of traditional Spanish guitars with the projection and extended sustain often associated with lattice-braced instruments. The result is a sound that is both articulate and responsive, with remarkable dynamic range.The guitar features a cedar top paired with Madagascar rosewood back and sides, resulting in a warm and richly textured tone. The polyurethane finish offers durability while preserving the visual elegance of the woods. With a 650 mm scale, 52 mm nut and Gotoh tuners, the instrument also offers a very comfortable neck profile. It is an ideal choice for players seeking a powerful, modern concert guitar that maintains a strong link to Spanish tradition.
