Paulino Bernabé Roman, born in 1960, follows in the illustrious footsteps of his father, Paulino Bernabé Almendariz (1932-2007), and has rightfully earned his place as a world-class luthier. In their Madrid workshop, Paulino and his team of four highly skilled luthiers meticulously handcraft instruments using traditional methods passed down through generations.

One of their exceptional creations is the Model 20 guitar, a testament to their dedication to the craft. With a soundboard crafted from high-grade Canadian cedar and exquisite Madagascar rosewood for the back and sides, this guitar stands as a concert-level instrument of the highest caliber. The selection of materials reflects Paulino Bernabe's commitment to quality and artistry.

The Model 20 doesn't just meet the expectations of professional guitarists; it exceeds them. It boasts a bold and unmistakable Spanish sound, characterized by remarkable projection and power. The trebles are firm, rounded, and clear, akin to a polished mirror, and they sing beautifully, even in the highest registers. These trebles are perfectly balanced by a robust and musical bass range, resulting in a harmonious and well-rounded tonal palette.

A distinctive warmth envelops the instrument's tonality, thanks to the cedar soundboard. This warmth adds depth and character to the guitar's voice, making it a joy to play and listen to. The Model 20 comes strung with Paulino Bernabe P.B. Special Guitar Strings, ensuring that every note resonates with the signature quality and craftsmanship that define Bernabé instruments. It is a true masterpiece that reflects the artistry and passion of a renowned luthier.
