- [Amalio Burguet \| 1A](https://www.classicalguitaracademy.co.uk/product/amalio-burguet-1a-spruce/): \<p data\-start="38" data\-end="239"\>The \<strong data\-start="42" data\-end="63"\>Amalio Burguet 1A\</strong\> is a refined Spanish concert classical guitar, offering the warmth, balance and musical character that have earned Amalio Burguet guitars their fine reputation\.\</p\>
\<p data\-start="241" data\-end="639"\>Built with a \<strong data\-start="254" data\-end="289"\>solid spruce soundboard\</strong\> and \<strong data\-start="294" data\-end="334"\>solid Indian rosewood back and sides\</strong\>, the 1A has the depth and colour you'd expect to find from a high quality Spanish guitar maker\.\</p\>
\<p data\-start="241" data\-end="639"\>The tonal signature of Amalio Burguet guitars is one that is rich and immersive, with a wide range of colours under the fingers\.

The 1A is a highly lyrical guitar with a natural feel under the fingers\.\</p\>
\<p data\-start="1266" data\-end="1508"\>The Amalio Burguet 1A has an elegant, natural voice rather than an exaggerated or overly modern character\. It is warm, balanced and firmly rooted in the Spanish tradition — a guitar designed to support and reward expressive playing\. A very 'player friendly' guitar that is difficult to put down\.\</p\>
