Camps guitar Concierto Arce. The sublime Concierto Arce is a model of concert-grade Flamenco guitar that has been especially designed at Hermanos Camps for the professional flamenco guitar player. It has the lightweight build that this maker is famed for, coupled with an unmistakably contemporary quality of sound that is unique to this concert flamenco guitar. The beautifully shaped plantilla is eye-catching and the overall design is remarkably elegant. Playability and setup are a dream, with nice, low action. Fantastic value for the money. This instrument is the result of a tight collaboration between the concert performer and music professor Manuel Granados and the master luthiers at Camps. They have pooled their experience and seasoned craftsmanship to produce a truly first-class guitar. Made from rigorously selected materials, and employing innovative construction techniques to increase playability to the max, this instrument is a unique piece, which is extremely comfortable to play and produces a beautiful and charismatic sound.
This noble instrument, very lightweight in build, has a breathtaking timbral brightness, and a clear, perfectly balanced and rich sound in every voice. Guitar case included.

Opinions:
Well, I have only had the guitar tuned up and in my hands for about 10 minutes and I am already in it's thrall. It is a true masterpiece of the luthier's art. Every detail of its construction has been perfected to the limit of the art. Each note on each string is as loud or quiet and the hands and fingers can make it. And each stands out or is integrated depending on each angle and pressure from the player. I have finally found my forever guitar. I will never, in my lifetime reach its limit of perfection. I will be inspired to find all the new songs it contains. Thank you, Manuel for your counsel and support through this ordeal. It was completely worth it. My hat is off to the wizards of Camps. Their founder must be so proud. I also want to thank M. Granados for passing my guitar as he did. It feels like the soul of Spain resides in this guitar and I am proud to partner with it to further my journey into the heart of my music.
Thanks so much, Manuel. I could not be happier with the guitar. As I inspect it more closely, I notice some details that I have never seen in a guitar before: the way the top near the neck slopes down, the special bracing inside in the upper bout. The Camps brothers have truly captured all the lessons of the great builders of the past and then moved the whole art of lutherie forward with their newest designs. It is my pleasure to play it everyday for the rest of my life and then to leave it as a great legacy for my great grandchildren.
