The story of this guitar is the story about meeting the famous Spanish guitarist and composer Jose Maria Gallardo del Rey. Being introduced to him in Tirana, Albania during the Albanian Guitar Festival by my friend Denis Bizhga, who hold this festival, I was really amazed by play of Maestro Jose Maria. We talked about the guitars and guitar music and then I made this guitar.
This guitar is my signature design, made from spectacular quilted maple and select alpine spruce. Ah, and don't forget the neck of beautiful curly cedar!
This is an example of classical guitar on the base of Jose Romanillos construction. Beautiful figured Indian rosewood and best cedar on top gives silver bell sound to this guitarrita - I was proud of myself when it was complete.
The photos above shows you my flamenco blanca. Spanish cypress and good Caucasian spruce works great! You can see videos on my YouTube channel with this guitar.
This guitar was built for the customer who loves an appearance and sound of Birdseye maple. And it's beautiful, isn't it? The soundboard made of top quality spruce and the contstruction of this guitar provides clear, reach and strong sound.

This particular guitar was made of very old set of maple I got by occasion. Even with it's irregular curls it was beautiful for me and I start creating this guitar. I attached to it's headstock (from both sides), bridge and bottom strip pieces of birds eye maple and voila!
This guitar was finished in September 2024.
It has an elegant shape and a relatively small body size, similar to Antonio de Torres guitars.
At the same time, it is a double-top - its soundboard is a sandwich with an inner layer of European spruce and an outer layer of cedar. The core is made of balsa.
Despite its small size, the instrument has a fairly low fundamental resonance frequency - 89 Hz, or in other words, between F and F#. This was achieved by manipulating the construction parameters of both the soundboard and the resonator as a whole.
In addition, the ultra-thin neck makes playing this guitar extremely easy. This was made possible by double reinforcement with carbon rods.
The guitar has excellent responsiveness, good projection, deep velvety bass and singing trebles.
