Introducing the Miles Henderson-Smith ‘Ekajati’ Guitar. Named after the Tibetan deity Ekajati on account of the colour of the African Blackwood used for the back and sides. Ekajati was the protectress of ‘Revealed Treasure’ traditions, and what a treasure this guitar is.

The European spruce top provides all of the clarity and separation of voices top level players demand from their instrument. It’s perhaps the African Blackwood that delivers the magic in the form of a deep resonance that permeates not only the tone of the bass strings, but across all registers of this guitar. It’s something akin to running the instrument through a fat bottomed tube amp, adding a velvet richness and warmth to this well balanced guitar. The tone is not too disimilar to that found on most Brazilian Rosewood guitars (just without the CITES headaches).

The African Blackwood not only provides tonal richness, but looks stunning too. The oil finish allows the whole instrument to breathe whilst still offering the wood plenty of protection from the elements.

A rich toned guitar that is also well balanced and immensely musical in nature.

Endorsements and Happy Customers

“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.”

“Excellent guitar and very good service. Highly recommended!”

Joe Scarffe

Classical Guitar Academy Customer

“We were looking for a guitar for our son but had no idea where to start based on the level he’s working at/age etc. I contacted Classical Guitar Academy for some initial advice and received a detailed email response. More questions followed from our side and Ed took the time to give his thoughts and opinions. Once the order was placed we were kept very much in the loop about expected delivery times. On collection of the guitar, Ed spent time with us and our son had the chance to play a couple of guitars and make an informed final choice! Can highly recommend Classical Guitar Academy for non-pushy, knowledgeable advice with regards to the purchase of a high quality guitar. Local independent seller providing an excellent service – can highly recommend!”

“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.”

Roger Watts

Classical Guitar Academy Customer

“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!”
