Wolfgang Jellinghaus

Espanola A

Based on a José Ramirez III guitar from the 1950’s, this Wolfgang Jellinghaus guitar captures the tone, power and beauty of this iconic guitar from one of the world’s greatest guitar makers, the design of which still inspires modern luthiers to this day.

Because nylon strings become the standard after 1950 and more energy was available on the bridge. Jose Ramirez III checked out the limit in term of scale and body size again.

The result was a slightly bigger body. To balance treble and bass, he added a cross-or treble brace and together with the double sides, variations of these are still in use for many Spanish guitars.

The legacy he left to the world of classical guitars was to introduce the wood of the Thuya plicata (Western red Cedar) for the guitar top.

Note: This is a B Stock guitar; some slight visible imperfections in the finish around the bridge area.

Original price was: £2,666.67.Current price is: £1,833.33.

  • “I’ve been buying guitars for a long time, but this was my first experience with CGA. Ed was a huge help right from the research phase. He has a gift with describing the individual characteristics of guitars and I don’t think I’ve ever met someone as knowledgeable about the minutiae of the guitars they sell. Great customer service.”
