The Modelo 5 is Paulino Bernabé’s most affordable offering, at the entry point into his concert guitar range. A fine balance of high quality woods and superior craftsmanship at a sensible price point.
While the tonal refinement increases as you ascend Bernabé’s line—marked by greater clarity and richness—the Modelo 5 retains the distinctive Bernabé character. Top quality woods are used in all Bernabe guitars. As he once remarked: “it takes almost as much time to build an estudio model as it does a top concert model, so why waste time building a guitar of inferior materials?” The Modelo 5 delivers the bold, firm Spanish sound with impressive volume, clarity and projection that has solidified Bernabé’s status as a master luthier worldwide.
This secondhand model is in excellent condition, with very few signs of wear. The original string beads have been used since construction, meaning zero wear is evident on the tie block. A fine example of an affordable concert style instrument and a great introduction to the world renowned tonal character of Bernabe guitars. The Modelo 5 was discontinued in 2017 to focus on the higher end Bernabe models. These fine guitars are rarely available and represent excellent value for money.

“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!”
