Antonio de Toledo Segovia 1A – A Masterpiece of Tradition 

A Legacy of Excellence

Andrés Segovia launched his career playing a guitar of this caliber, using it for concerts and recordings from 1912 to 1937, including his U.S. debut at New York’s Town Hall in 1929. A similar model with maple back and sides was later owned by one of his students.

Unparalleled Craftsmanship & Sound

Born from a collaboration with W. Jellinghouse Guitars, Antonio de Toledo 1A embodies a new era of Spanish guitar-making — a perfect harmony of time-honored tradition, masterful artistry, and modern innovation.

The Segovia 1A stands out for its exceptional lightness paired with remarkable power, offering:
✔ Impeccable tonal balance
✔ Impressive sustain and projection
✔ Effortless and fluid playability
✔ Rich harmonics with profound tonal depth

The Antonio de Toledo Segovia 1A is a concert-level classical guitar crafted from the finest tonewoods, designed for professional guitarists. This 100% handmade instrument follows the Spanish luthier tradition, drawing inspiration from Manuel Ramírez and Santos Hernández while incorporating modern craftsmanship techniques.
