It was there that he honed his craft and developed a deep reservoir of luthiery knowledge. Over the years, Hernández’s skills flourished, leading him to work alongside his son, Alberto Hernández, and a team of skilled artisans. Together, they have continued to uphold the high standards of craftsmanship that have earned his company an esteemed international reputation. Today, Juan Hernández is celebrated not just for his traditional techniques but also for his ability to infuse each guitar with a piece of Spanish musical heritage.About the guitar
This brand-new Maestro Especial model features a sandwich soundboard with a double-top construction, incorporating Nomex to reduce the mass of the soundboard, enhancing its responsiveness and efficiency. Despite its modern innovations, the guitar retains its rich Spanish character, making it both a powerful and expressive instrument.The soundboard reinforcement consists of five fan bracings, two harmonic bars (one positioned at the very end of the lower bout), two bridge bars, and two very thin horizontal bars made of cedar, carefully designed to balance stability and resonance. Additionally, its double sides and back construction significantly enhance projection, allowing the guitar to fill a concert hall effortlessly.
Acoustically, the guitar features velvety yet lively trebles, while the basses are dry and packed with punch, offering great articulation and clarity. Its wide dynamic range allows players to explore an incredible spectrum of tonal possibilities, making it an ideal choice for both delicate nuances and powerful passages.
The instrument is finished with nitrocellulose lacquer, ensuring durability, ease of maintenance, and a refined aesthetic. Combining power, projection, and traditional Spanish tonal beauty, this exceptional concert guitar is an ideal choice for serious musicians.
