In this video Cristina Ramirez uncovers this doubt that many of you usually have between these two product lines. In addition, the guitarist Adrián Baratech will give voice to two of the most representative models of each of the features. To sum up, the guitars that we call Studio guitars are guitars that we design, that have our templates (E line, R line or commemorative line) and that we send to be made exclusively to different Spanish factories, then they arrive to our workshop where we...
