Handmade flamenco guitars

Every one different. On purpose.

Each Cadizsound guitar is built by hand in Spain with solid tonewoods, traditional flamenco construction and the kind of response a serious player can feel immediately.

OriginBuilt in Cadiz
VoicesBlanca or negra

Blanca or negra?

Two flamenco voices. Two different ways of answering the hands.

The choice is not about appearance first. It is about attack, sustain, projection, musical style and what the player needs from the instrument.

Flamenco blanca

Dry. Percussive. Traditional.

Spruce and cypress character

Bright, dry and immediate. The body responds fast and stops when the player needs silence, making it ideal for traditional flamenco language.

  • Fast, percussive attack
  • Bright, cutting tone
  • Shorter sustain and lighter body
  • Classic traditional flamenco voice
Flamenco negra

Warm. Complex. Versatile.

Cedar, rosewood or maple depth

More warmth, body and harmonic complexity, while still staying fundamentally flamenco. A strong choice for stage, studio and contemporary players.

  • Warmer, fuller tone
  • More sustain and harmonic content
  • Versatile across flamenco and fusion
  • Rich projection for performance

Available instruments
