Candelas Guitars unveils the Adam Del Monte model

A new creative collaboration has begun between international flamenco and classical guitarist Adam del Monte and Master Luthier Tomas Delgado Candelas. Putting together their respective experience and skills, this teamwork's has given birth to a new generation of instruments. When buying a guitar, most people, whether they know it or not, are looking for qualities that have to do with age. We all love instruments that have that "old world sound" that is seasoned, rich, and open. We have investigated and sought inspiration from two legendary instruments: a Manuel de la Chica (Granada) from 1963 and one from 1953. These guitars are rarities and are impossible to be found.

Tomas Delgado has brilliantly interpreted, engineered and executed the desires and specifications of Adam del Monte as far as character, tone colors, set up, string tension, feel, and shape of the neck and fingerboard. Needless to say, while you are getting a guitar that has qualities and characteristics from another era, with the precision of modern times, you won't be paying prices of collector's items. Our philosophy at Candelas Guitars is to provide these magical elements at an affordable price range that can fit most budgets for the serious guitar buyer.

Available are the Supreme Model and the Player's Model.
The Supreme Model is made with master grade German spruce and mechanical pegs to preserve the old aesthetic. The Player's Model is made with top grade Sitka spruce from Alaska and machine-head tuners.

Our guitars normally come in 655 scale length, but can be made to order.
