Introducing the Miles Henderson-Smith ‘Ösel’ Guitar; an excellent instrument based predominantly on a Torres SE114. Meticulously handcrafted with impressive attention to detail, this instrument showcases the perfect fusion of Torres’ timeless design and Miles’ modern craftsmanship.
Aptly named ‘Ösel’ (meaning ‘clear), this spruce top guitar with Cypress back and sides has a voice of immense clarity; a trait all top level players will appreciate. The guitar features a carefully selected European spruce soundboard, renowned for its exceptional tonal qualities. This high-quality tonewood delivers a clean and clear voice and responds quickly to the subtle nuances of your playing.
The back and sides of the ‘Ösel’ guitar are crafted from exquisite cypress, chosen for its striking appearance and sonorous tonal properties. Cypress lends a unique character to the guitar’s sound, offering a tone which is crisp in detail yet full in tone, with distinct clarity and resonance in perfect balance.
A 640mm scalelength makes this a highly attractive proposition for players with a shorter wingspan, or those who prefer a slightly more compact instrument than your typical 650mm model.
A sublime oil finish allows you to feel somehow closer to the guitar and lets the instrument to breathe, whilst still offering the wood plenty of protection from the elements. The ‘Ösel’ guitar’s elegant aesthetics and flawless craftsmanship make it a true work of art that will captivate both your eyes and ears.
Immerse yourself in the rich tonal palette and exceptional playability of this exquisite instrument.

“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!”
