Arriving Spring 2025
A concert grade guitar aimed specifically at students and those with smaller budgets.
Steve has taken his immensely popular concert model and stripped back the decoration and more time consuming construction tasks, whilst maintaining all of the most important features such as the highest quality tonewoods and of course, his masterful craftsmanship.
Inizio (translating as ‘Start’ or ‘Beginner’ in Italian) is very much an introduction into the world of concert guitars. Steve uses the same top quality woods as those found on his concert and doubletop models. The construction is based on his concert model and therefore the tone, projection and overall character bear striking similarities with those found on his more expensive model (RRP approximately £4,000).
Steve has opted for a pre-built rosette, which cuts down on his own labour time/costs dramatically. He has also chosen simple bindings rather than the more decorative binding and purfling found on his concert model. These have no bearing on the tonal quality of the instrument and have minimal impact on the aesthetic too, making it a wise choice to help reduce the cost.
This is a remarkable guitar, especially considering the price. It offers customers the opportunity to acquire a genuine, high quality concert guitar for around half the price of a typical concert model.

“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!”
