The Camps PRIMERA Flamenco guitar is a professional instrument designed in collaboration with Manuel Granados, ensuring a high standard of quality and performance.
Overview of the Camps PRIMERA Flamenco Guitar
The Camps PRIMERA Flamenco guitar is a product of Hermanos Camps, a company known for its professional-grade instruments. This guitar is made in Spain, adhering to traditional Spanish craftsmanship. The collaboration with Manuel Granados, a renowned flamenco performer and teacher, has resulted in a guitar that meets professional standards and is certified before leaving the factory.
The guitar features a solid spruce top, which is known for its clarity and ability to project sound. Spruce is also appreciated for its responsiveness to the player's touch, making it a popular choice for flamenco guitars. The back and sides are made of solid cypress, a wood that contributes to the bright and punchy sound characteristic of flamenco guitars.
Materials and Construction
The neck of the PRIMERA is crafted from cedar, a lightweight wood that provides a comfortable playing experience. It is reinforced with a carbon rod, adding stability and preventing warping over time. The fingerboard is made of ebony, a dense hardwood that offers a smooth playing surface and contributes to the guitar's overall sustain and tonal quality.
The guitar's nut width is 52 mm, and the distance between the 1st and 6th strings is 58 mm, dimensions that are designed to accommodate the intricate finger techniques used in flamenco playing. The scale length is 650 mm, which is standard for classical and flamenco guitars, and the body depth ranges from 85 mm at the heel to 90 mm at the bottom, providing a resonant chamber that enhances the guitar's sound.
Additional Features
The PRIMERA is equipped with a bone saddle, which is favored for its ability to transfer string vibrations efficiently to the guitar's top, improving resonance and sustain. The finish is gloss, which not only gives the guitar an attractive sheen but also protects the wood. A pick guard is included to guard against the aggressive strumming that is often part of flamenco playing.
The guitar comes strung with D'addario EJ-46 FF Carbon Dynacore strings, which are known for their bright tone and excellent intonation. A gig bag is included for easy transportation and protection of the instrument. Additionally, a left-handed version of the PRIMERA is available to cater to all players.
