Handcrafted in England, Margarita is a superb example of John Ainsworth’s artistry and dedication to traditional luthiery. Built with a spruce soundboard and cherry back and sides, this instrument combines visual elegance with exceptional tonal clarity.
John Ainsworth’s affectionately named ‘Margarita’ model guitar offers a tone that is bold, rounded, and clear, with an even dynamic response across all registers. Its excellent projection makes it equally at home in intimate settings or on the concert stage. Players will appreciate its balance of warmth and brilliance, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of repertoire.
This guitar is ideally suited for intermediate players stepping up into their first ‘concert-level’ instrument, offering professional quality at an accessible price point. Advanced players will also value its rich pallette of well-rounded tones, —a refined guitar that doesn’t compromise artistry for affordability.
John Ainsworth’s Margarita is a fully handmade concert guitar that inspires confidence, rewards expressive playing, and elevates performance (for the same price as a high end studio guitar – Not to be missed!)
Being a secondhand instrument, there are a few visual imperfections in the finish. Most notably a couple of dings on the soundboard and a small area of scuffing on the back consistent with regular use.

“I taught Ed Peczek (Director of Classical Guitar Academy) whilst he was a student at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He is a fine musician and guitarist with a keen musical insight. Ed is a young man of real integrity who will offer unbiased advice on purchasing a quality instrument. I can think of no one better equipped to direct a centre such as Classical Guitar Academy.”

“Just received an Amalio Burguet 2M by mail. Arrived, beautifully packed, in superb condition. After tuning had my first acquaintance with it. Lovely tone which I am sure will improve with playing time. Turned the instrument over in my hands for close inspection. First-rate construction under superb high-gloss finish. Thanks for swift supply & responses via email.”

“Been playing guitar since I was 15 (am now 59), bought my first classical guitar in 1985 and recently decided I needed a better one. After some discussion with Ed at the Classical Guitar Academy about all things guitaristic (Ed is very knowledgeable and always enthusiastic) I tried a few of the guitars Ed had in stock. I knew what I was looking for and Ed understood what I was looking for and I have ended up with a superb Antonio Sanchez guitar. I had also tried a few guitars in a few of the mainstream shops but did not get anything like the help and advice I got from Ed – he understands what it’s all about!”
