2017 Gutmeier “Santos Hernandez” Classical, Indian Rosewood/European Spruce
Ross Gutmeier’s Santos model is a no frills Concert Classical that pulls no punches. This beauty is still fresh off the bench from 2017, and has impressive sonority throughout the bass register, with clean, smooth trebles. We’re already impressed, and expect it to continue to mature. Straight-grained Indian Rosewood back and sides, European Spruce on top, with French Polish finish and Rubner tuners and a 650mm scale. Combined with a slim fighting weight of 3lbs 5oz, this Gutmeier Santos Hernandez Model is an effortless player, and is a tough one to put down. You’ll see.

A Baltimore native, Ross Gutmeier began his building career in 1993 after discovering a book about lutherie while he was learning to play classical guitar. A compulsive researcher and perfectionist as a craftsman, Gutmeier taught himself both the art and the science of building guitars and has established himself as one of the premier builders on the global stage.
Gutmeier’s career was first noticed as he mastered his work in double top guitars in the mid- to late 2000s. During this time, Gutmeier began a deeper exploration into the physical and mechanics of the guitar, while also studying in depth the work of the old masters, including Antonio De Torres and Santos Hernandez.
Gutmeier prides himself of being able to explore both new trends in guitar building, while deepening his understanding of the building methods of the old masters. Presently, Gutmeier has come to a design that he feels is the pinnacle of his career, which is primarily based on his study of Santos Hernandez.
