Overview
Overview
Javier Mengual regards the Deseada model as one of his crowning achievements, representing the culmination of years of feedback from professional guitarists and his extensive luthiery experience. This guitar has been crafted to meet the high expectations of its players, offering a sound that is soft, melodic, yet powerfully resonant. It stands out for its balanced feel and lightweight construction, which provides exceptional comfort for the musician. The use of noble woods, such as Indian rosewood for the body and Cameroonian ebony for the fretboard, adheres to the traditions of Spanish guitar construction, ensuring both quality and aesthetic grace. The Deseada is not just a musical instrument but a tribute to Javier's wife, celebrating a lifetime of shared work and experiences, and to the professional guitarists who seek the authentic sounds of Spain.
This concert guitar delivers a solid performance with its rich overtones and great volume to fill a variety of venues, while maintaining its Spanish character.

This combination of clear sound and practical design makes it a reliable choice for both practice and performance situations.
The creation of the Deseada also marks a significant collaboration with Joaquín Clerch, a renowned teacher, composer, and guitar virtuoso, whose insights have greatly influenced its design and sound. This partnership reflects a deep complicity and shared commitment to excellence, evident in the meticulous craftsmanship and the compelling sound profile of each guitar. Javier Mengual's dedication to merging traditional craftsmanship with technical innovation results in guitars that not only reflect the essence of the Spanish guitar tradition but also embody the style and spirit of the artists who inspire them. His attention to detail and profound understanding of guitar making ensure that each instrument not only performs exceptionally but also carries the soul of its creator, making each piece a personal and historical artifact. Moreover, some of the best players in the world, such as Julia Trintschuck and Ali Arango have choosed "Deseada" as their main concert instrument.

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 -
