We are pleased to present this outstanding guitar crafted in 2024 by Arizona-based luthier Douglas Bryce Hamp. Under the mentorship of renowned Málaga luthier Pablo Riqueña, Douglas has embraced the rich heritage of the Spanish tradition in guitar construction. This instrument, his 72nd creation, reflects his commitment to both traditional craftsmanship and modern sustainability practices.

A Unique Opportunity This is a new guitar, listed in our "used" section to distinguish it from our own stock. Its exceptional quality of workmanship and artistry make it a standout choice for discerning players.

Sustainable Materials Douglas is dedicated to using sustainable woods, and this guitar is a testament to that philosophy. The body and soundboard are crafted from Canadian Yellow Cedar (Cupressus nootkatensis), a tonewood prized for its warm, mellow character and balanced tonal qualities. It delivers excellent sustain and clarity, with a rich complexity that rewards both delicate and dynamic playing.

Canadian Yellow Cedar is also incredibly stable, resisting the effects of changes in humidity and temperature. This durability ensures consistent performance, whether you're playing at home, on stage, or in challenging climates.

Sound and Playability Having personally played this guitar, I can confidently say it captures the essence of the Spanish tradition. It is responsive and powerful, offering an impressive balance between trebles and basses. The tonality is complex, providing a rich palette of colors that will enhance any repertoire. The trebles sing beautifully, adding a lyrical quality to the instrument's voice.

Craftsmanship The workmanship is truly excellent, showcasing Douglas's meticulous attention to detail and the influence of his Spanish training. This guitar embodies the perfect harmony of tradition and innovation, making it an instrument as visually stunning as it is musically rewarding.

Don’t miss this opportunity to own a brand-new instrument crafted by a luthier who combines Spanish tradition with modern sustainability. This guitar is ready to inspire its next owner!
