Juan Hernandez PROFESOR FLAMENCO Negra

Juan Hernández is a Spanish luthier trained at the Esteve Guitar School, with a consolidated career in the construction of classical and flamenco concert guitars. Their “black” flamencos are located on the border between demanding studio and professional use, balancing ease of play, sound quality and careful craftsmanship.

This “black” version preserves the essence of the traditional flamenco guitar, but deepens it with woods and structures that provide greater body and sustain, making it a reference instrument for those looking for a fuller voice and clearer nuances within a classic-Spanish design.

The Profesor Flamenco Negra features a solid spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, cedar neck, and ebony fingerboard, 650 mm scale and glossy finish lacquer varnish. This combination, so typical of the Spanish concert guitar, provides greater harmonic density and a broader response than the “white” cypress version, maintaining the flamenco definition necessary for chopped, strummed and dry hits.

The timbre is deep and warm, with a very present bass base, well-woven mids and bright but rounded highs, without falling into harshness. The harmonic richness and longer sustain of Indian rosewood allow for greater projection, ideal for playing in large spaces or with accompaniment, but also translate into an extremely expressive instrument at home, where every nuance of tonal color is easy to capture. The immediate response to thumb and strumming, together with a very balanced natural acoustics, makes it a guitar that invites you to explore the depth of the flamenco sound without sacrificing comfort or clarity.

With the Juan Hernández Professor Flamenco Negra you bring to your living room a handmade Spanish concert guitar, with a flamenco soul and a timbral character that seduces from the first chord, making it extraordinarily difficult to put down once it is played.
