Dirk Jan Schrander - Santos Hernandez Classic Guitar

Dirk Jan Schrander 2025 

Santos Hernandez Replica 

This is a faithful homage to the legendary instruments of Santos Hernández. Every detail reflects the elegance and craftsmanship of the golden era of Spanish guitar making — from the traditional construction methods to the beautifully executed rosette with its authentic scroll stops.

Built entirely by hand, just as it would have been over a century ago, this instrument carries a remarkable sense of authenticity in both its appearance and its sound. The top is spruce, and the back and sides are crafted from stunning Madagascar rosewood, offering a rich, refined tonal character often regarded as an excellent alternative to Brazilian rosewood.

The guitar is fitted with high-quality Rodgers-style tuners, complementing the instrument’s traditional aesthetic and premium feel.

Warm, responsive, and deeply expressive, this guitar is for players who appreciate the timeless voice of a true handmade concert instrument.
