Wolfgang Jellinghaus’ deep admiration for Antonio de Torres has led to the creation of a series of exceptional, yet accessible guitars, each capturing the essence of Torres’ original designs.
This particular model is inspired by an early Torres guitar, built in 1860 and cataloged as FE 13 by Jose Romanillos. The original instrument holds great historical significance, having been owned by Miguel Llobet and later acquired by Hermann Hauser I, who considered it instrumental in shaping his own iconic style. Jellinghaus’ dedication to authenticity is reflected in every detail, from the precise recreation of the original’s distinctive “lime green” purfling on the top, back, and rosette, to the custom-crafted period-style tuning machines. This attention to detail ensures the guitar not only captures the spirit of Torres’ work but also bridges the past and present, offering modern players a connection to the rich tradition of classical guitar craftsmanship.
Despite its smaller size and lightweight build, this guitar delivers an unexpectedly powerful, full-bodied sound. It excels with resonant basses and lyrical trebles, rich in overtones throughout the entire register. The instrument’s playability is enhanced by a comfortable neck and responsive action, making it a top choice for both dedicated students and concert-level performers seeking a high-quality instrument at an affordable price. Handcrafted in limited numbers, these concert-grade guitars are meticulously French-polished, with select materials that enhance their beauty and tonal richness. The clear finish gives this model a pristine look, evoking how the original Torres would have appeared in 1860, further adding to its allure. Wolfgang Jellinghaus’ replica stands as a tribute to Antonio de Torres’ enduring legacy, offering superb value to those who want to experience the timeless sound and feel of a master guitar maker’s work.

“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!”
