About the luthier

Darío García is a Spanish luthier born in 2002, whose relationship with the guitar began through both music and the workshop. He entered the elementary music conservatory for classical guitar at the age of eight, later expanding his musical interests to electric guitar and composition. His fascination with guitar making developed naturally in the workshop of his father, Antonio J. García, where as a child he spent time among pieces of wood, shavings and the daily materials of the craft.

One of his earliest direct encounters with lutherie came when his father built him a reduced size guitar based on a Bouchet plan for his conservatory studies. Darío was allowed to help glue some of the internal elements and place his signature inside the instrument, an experience that gave him a personal connection to the making process from a very young age. His father, who has built guitars for many years, has been his principal teacher, first guiding him through simple workshop tasks and gradually allowing him to take greater responsibility in the construction of complete instruments.

Darío García’s work stands close to the Spanish tradition and carries an indirect connection to the Granada school through his father, who learned from Paco Santiago Marín and Rolf Eichinger. At the same time, his instruments reflect his own generation and his own technical curiosity. He builds both classical and flamenco guitars, with a style shaped by Spanish guitar making while remaining open to modern construction ideas.

About the guitar

This 2026 Darío García Concierto Lattice is a new classical guitar with a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides. Its lattice construction gives the instrument a modern structural language, yet its voice remains notably close to the feeling of a traditional Spanish guitar. Rather than presenting itself as a purely modern high power instrument, it keeps a natural character, with warmth, immediacy and an easy musical flow.

The sound is powerful, open and responsive, but not forced. The cedar top brings warmth and a direct connection under the right hand, while the Indian rosewood body adds depth and visual richness. The lattice bracing gives the guitar extra support in projection and dynamic range, allowing the player to move comfortably from intimate playing to a fuller concert sound. Its response is quick and uncomplicated, with a sense that the instrument gives sound freely without demanding excessive effort.

What makes this guitar especially appealing is the balance between modern response and traditional colour. It offers the clarity, power and ease often associated with lattice construction, while preserving a rounded and natural voice that does not lose the familiar warmth of a Spanish classical guitar. The full French polish finish gives the cedar and rosewood a refined surface and supports the instrument’s elegant visual character. With its 650 mm scale, 52 mm nut, Gotoh tuners, Knobloch EDC 34.0 strings, this Concierto Lattice is a young maker’s concert guitar with warmth, strength and inviting playability.
