About the luthier
Elvis Pajares is a talented luthier from Namora, Peru, who continues a long family tradition of guitar making. Deeply inspired by the great Spanish masters, Antonio de Torres, Francisco Simplicio, and José Luis Romanillos, as well as by the innovations of modern double-top designs, Pajares combines classical heritage with a contemporary vision of sound and structure. Guided by his intuition and curiosity, he has achieved remarkable results by exploring both traditional and modern concepts of the guitar. For the past three years, he has collaborated closely with guitarist and teacher Rodrigo Herrera, whose experience as a pedagogue and concert performer has played a fundamental role in the design of his most recent instruments.About the guitar
This 2025 guitar, No. 90, is a double-top model named “Wayra”, a Quechua word meaning “divine wind.” The model was developed in collaboration with guitarist and teacher Rodrigo Herrera, based in Italy, and is notable for its all-wood double-top construction. Unlike most double-top designs that incorporate synthetic materials like Nomex, this guitar uses a thin core of Canadian red cedar, sandwiched between two outer layers of cedar. The bracing follows a traditional layout with seven fan braces made of spruce wtih a Bouchet style bar. Tonally, “Wayra” is remarkably warm and colorful, with a soothing and lyrical character. It retains the expressive complexity of a traditional instrument while offering increased responsiveness and dynamic range. The guitar can produce gentle, rounded tones but becomes surprisingly bright and powerful when pushed, making it a versatile choice for both lyrical and energetic repertoire. The visual details are equally refined. The Indian rosewood back and sides give the guitar a rich, classical appearance, and the neck is made from well-aged curly cedar, offering both stability and a unique visual character. The use of entirely organic materials speaks to Pajares’ philosophy of avoiding synthetic components in favor of an uncompromised tonal experience.
Otto Rauch is a German guitar maker from the small town of Obermoschel in Rheinland-Pfalz. With over 35 years of experience as a guitar maker, he is one of the German pioneers of double-top construction. After repairing a Matthias Dammann guitar in the early 1990s, Otto Rauch began building doubel-top guitars. At first, he used cedar struts and then a balsa core, a construction he continued to develop over the years. While helping a friend set up his violin making business, Otto Rauch came across the name of the 18th century Venetian violin maker Domenico Montagnana. His cellos are praised for their dark tone, fantastic sound volume and enigmatic construction. As these three attributes reflect Otto’s construction, he adopted the name, and the Domenico Montagnana model was born.

Classical Guitars
The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.Look all products of the collection -
