The Camps PRIMERA A Flamenco guitar is crafted by Hermanos Camps, a company recognized for their dedication to traditional guitar-making techniques.

The soundboard, which plays a crucial role in the tonal characteristics of the guitar, has been meticulously worked on to expand its musical range.
Materials and Sound Quality
The top of the Camps PRIMERA A is made from solid spruce, a wood known for its bright and clear sound, which is essential for the crisp tone associated with flamenco music. The back and sides are constructed from solid cypress, which contributes to the guitar's open and vibrant sound. The combination of these woods results in a guitar with excellent voice separation and warmth.
The fingerboard is made from ebony, a dense wood favored for its smooth playability and durability.

It is reinforced with a carbon truss rod, adding strength without compromising the guitar's responsiveness.
