2022 Bernabe Royal, Cocobolo Rosewood/Cedar
Master builder Paulino Bernabe II brings us this Royal model, constructed of Cedar and Cocobolo. This guitar exhibits Bernabé’s attention to detail with extremely well-executed binding and trim work throughout, all the sonority one could hope for from a Cedar and Rosewood classical, with excellent feel and clarity. Equipped with Alessi tuners to boot, this is an excellent opportunity to own a truly exceptional guitar.

Paulino Bernabe offers us a lovely voice and powerful bass with this Concierto model from 2002. Brazilian Rosewood body with German Spruce on top (one of our favorite combinations), plus a 650mm scale and 50mm nut for a familiar, easy setup. This one’s opened up handsomely since 2002, and feels lively and energetic in hand. Consistent note definition and separation across the registers, with a little extra kick to the bass that helps this one push out and fill the concert hall.

We’ve got an excellent piece of Classical guitar history in the shop today: a 1983 Paulino Bernabe Sr. in Indian Rosewood and Bearclaw Spruce. After learning the art of Classical lutherie from none other than José Ramirez III, Bernabe Sr. opened his own shop in 1969, where he pioneered a new bracing system.This particular instrument has opened up fabulously over the past three decades, and now has a clean and articulate voice to match its fierce projection. The trebles are crisp and focused; bass notes warm but articulate! Setup to play smoother than butter, this Bernabe Sr. Classical is in stellar shape with many more years under its belt. Wrapped up in a Mark Leaf flight case, this guitar is ready to travel anywhere, at any time, for any gig.

At the age of 17 I began my career as a guitar maker apprentice, with the best and most difficult Maestro; he was a very perfectionist and any job he taught me had to be well done; He was always telling me the secrets of the use of the tool and the knowledge of the life of the woods; Thus, first I learned from my Master, and then over the years I was able to work as equals, always attentive to his advice and his good ways of seeing a profession that he had as an art.
And together we have spent 30 years of daily work, even when we were resting or having vacations, we were always thinking about the future and how to get the Great Guitar.
Now that challenge is mine and I hope that after his death, he will always help me to get what I wanted the most, to continue making guitars, which is what he prepared me for throughout his life.
And I hope to do the same with my children, if they want to continue this beautiful profession of making good guitars.
Bernabe guitars are strong and vibrant and capable of great emotion. They are true tools for the master musician and lover of guitar.
