Rojas & Sanzol: Tradition, Precision and Excellence in Flamenco Guitar
The work of Rojas & Sanzol, the luthier partnership formed by Matías Ezequiel Rojas and Carmen Sanzol, represents a remarkable combination of guitar-making tradition, artisanal sensitivity, and a profound commitment to the quality of the instrument.
Their work has received important recognition within the world of guitar making: their flamenco guitar was awarded a prize at the 2024 edition of the prestigious Antonio Marín Montero Guitar-Making Competition, one of the leading competitions for guitar makers. This recognition highlights the exceptional level achieved by both luthiers, both in terms of craftsmanship and in their pursuit of a distinctive and highly personal sound.
Above all, Rojas & Sanzol instruments stand out for the care and precision of their construction. Every element is crafted with great attention to detail, from the selection and preparation of the woods to the finishing and structural balance of the instrument. The result is a collection of impeccably made guitars in which craftsmanship is ultimately placed at the service of something even more important: music.
It is precisely in the area of sound that Rojas & Sanzol guitars reveal one of their greatest strengths. Their instruments offer a rich, articulate and well-balanced tone, combined with an exceptionally fast response and excellent projection. There is remarkable clarity and separation between the different voices, while retaining the organic warmth that makes a fine handmade guitar truly come alive in the hands of the player.
In their flamenco guitars, these qualities take on a particularly compelling dimension. They offer the immediate response required by flamenco technique, a clean and precise attack, and excellent rhythmic definition, together with a full-bodied and highly distinctive sound. These are instruments that respond naturally to the player's nuances, allowing both the power and percussive character of flamenco playing and its more delicate and expressive qualities to shine through.
Of particular interest is a new flamenco guitar featuring a German spruce soundboard and cypress back and sides, built to exactly the same specifications and following the same design concept as the guitar with which Rojas & Sanzol were awarded at the 2024 Antonio Marín Montero Guitar-Making Competition.
This new guitar offers the opportunity to experience, in a very direct way, the qualities that led the award-winning instrument to receive recognition from the jury. The combination of German spruce for the soundboard and cypress for the back and sides, together with the meticulous craftsmanship of the luthiers, results in an instrument with exceptional response and an open, clear and projecting voice, particularly well suited to the flamenco tradition.
Ultimately, this is a guitar that brings together many of the qualities we look for in a luthier-built instrument: outstanding craftsmanship, carefully selected materials, a distinctive voice and exceptional response under the fingers. Above all, however, it is a guitar made to be played and enjoyed—a true musical instrument in which craftsmanship is not an end in itself, but the means to achieve an instrument of the highest musical quality.
The distinction received in 2024 confirms the talent of Rojas & Sanzol, but it is when their guitars are actually played that the true extent of their work becomes apparent. This new German spruce and cypress flamenco guitar, faithfully following the configuration of their award-winning instrument, is an outstanding example of the quality and personality that characterize this luthier partnership.
