Add to Compare2008 Tomas Delgado Classical, Brazilian Rosewood/Cedar
Long time luthier Tomas Delgado comes from luthier stock in both his father and grandfather, with whom he worked for a number of years. Today, he continues to uphold their tradition of guitarbuilding with his own work, and we’re proud to offer this gorgeous preowned example of just how far he’s come. This Classical was built in 2008 with premium Brazilian Rosewood and Cedar, and has been lovingly played in since then. And it’s a featherweight: right at 3lbs 4oz! The response is quick and even between the registers, and we love the blooming flavor of overtones in the bass and mids. French Polished for maximum resonance (part of what keeps the build weight so low here), this Delgado Classical is a dynamic tool for the serious musician.

Tomas Delgado was born April 15, 1969. He is the eldest son of Candelario Delgado (1944-1996) and grandson of Porfirio Delgado (1910-2000). Tomas learned by example spending his childhood by the side of his father and grandfather. He witnessed first hand the daily commitment it took to create guitars and run the business. Spending that much time at the shop had its perks. Through his upbringing, Tomas was able to meet many of his musical heroes. Artists feel at home when they come to the shop. This was no accident. The shop was designed to be a place for everyone to escape. For Tomas, it was home.
Tomas took over Candelas after the passing of his father, becoming its 3rd generation luthier. Nostalgic for the guitar he built when he was 11, Manuel came to work for Tomas and apprenticed for five years. Looking to stand on his own, Manuel decided to move on and create his own path. Each guitar handmade by Tomas continues the family tradition of using the finest woods and highest construction standards. This allows him to produce standard or custom instruments that are rich in tone, beauty, and soul.
