Arias Classical & Flamenco Guitars
Our classical
and flamenco guitars are finely hand made in Paraguay by the best luthiers in the
country, from best selected solid woods.
For complete information on our different models,
with photographs, and prices, please visit our guitar website, www.ClassicalGuitarra.com.
Our Arias guitars are 100% hand
made by our luthiers, with 20 to 50 years of building experience. Each guitar is
hand made from start to finish by only one builder. Our production is very limited, and
waiting time for a custom order is usually of about three to four months. All
models can be built with or without cutaway.
This
is what the
Classical Guitar Maestro Sila Godoy, the greatest
Paraguayan Classical Guitar composer and interpreter after Agustín Barrios, said about our guitars: "Your guitars are the best made in
Paraguay by far, every new one I test is better than the previous ones. I have
tested guitars from all the best known local luthiers, and yours have no competition either in sound or construction. These are world class guitars
that can compete side by side with guitars made by the best European luthiers.
I had never dreamed to have guitars of these quality built in Paraguay".
You will not find our guitars in local (Paraguayan)
guitar shops, our guitars are only made for customers abroad. In local
guitar shops you will find a great range of guitars, mainly
made in small workshops, and most of them of low to medium quality. Some shops also offer factory made
guitars under their own shop names. These factory made instruments have
glossy polyurethane finishes, with mainly laminated tops, backs & sides, but they
do not have the sound
quality of luthier made solid wood guitars.
The low prices for our guitars is due to the lower cost of luthier labour in South America.
The prices charged by North American and European luthiers for a hand made guitar is
higher, because the cost of living in their regions is from five to ten
times more expensive. I consider their labour charges absolutely fair.
All our wood is SOLID. We do NOT use
laminated wood (plywood). We use Master, Special and AAA grade Western Red
Cedar, Master and AAA grade Engelmann Spruce, and Master and AAA grade Sitka Spruce. Our East Indian
Rosewood, Pau Ferro (Bolivian Jacaranda), and Brazilian Rosewood are AAA, and AAAA (Master)
grade. We use AA, AAA, and AAAA
(Master) grade Ebony. We can use other species of wood for Back and
Sides, and for the Top if requested by the buyer.
Our rosettes are hand
made, from Russia and Argentina.
Warranty: One year against defects in workmanship or materials.
Returns: Guitars with standard dimensions may be returned for a full
refund (except fund/bank transfer charges) within seven days after
received by the buyer. Guitars must be returned in the same condition as when
shipped from us.
We have changed the model names of our guitars for better understanding.
Our Concert grade guitars are now named 1A and 1A Maestro.
We can also build Requintos,
Parlor Guitars, and
Acoustic Guitars.
