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, dubbed the "Deseada," stands out for its solid performance characterized by rich overtones and ample volume capable of filling diverse venues while retaining its distinctive Spanish character. Designed for ease of playability, it allows musicians to perform comfortably for extended periods, making it a reliable option for both practice and performance settings. The development of the Deseada marks a notable collaboration with Joaquín Clerch, a celebrated teacher, composer, and guitar virtuoso, whose expertise has significantly shaped its design and acoustic properties. This partnership underscores a deep commitment to excellence, evident in the guitar's meticulous craftsmanship and compelling sound profile. Javier Mengual's dedication to blending traditional craftsmanship with technical innovation results in instruments that resonate with the essence of Spanish guitar tradition, yet cater to the modern artist's demands. Esteemed performers like Julia Trintschuck and Ali Arango have chosen the Deseada as their primary concert instrument, highlighting its status among the best players worldwide.

Classical Guitar
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 -
