Jellinghaus instruments are the work of the well-known guitar maker Edmund Blöchinger and the tonewood expert Wolfgang Jellinghaus. Historically important and legendary instruments, such as those made by the famous 18th century guitar maker Antonio de Torres, are carefully examined using the few surviving originals and detailed construction plans are drawn up. Based on this data, the highest quality fully solid and hand-built instruments are then constructed, which are visually and tonally modeled on the originals. Jellinghaus instruments are made by experienced master luthiers in China. The Jellinghaus / Pepe Romero instruments are the result of a collaboration between Jellinghaus and Pepe Romero Jr.
The “ESPANA” model, which is also available with a cedar top, is an instrument with a lot of power, clarity and direct response. The design is inspired by earlier classical Spanish guitars from famous workshops such as Miguel Rodriguez.
