The Model 15 is meticulously handcrafted in Paulino Bernabé’s Madrid workshop, where he collaborates with skilled luthiers, employing traditional tools and techniques passed down through generations.
Paulino has eloquently explained his philosophy behind the M15 model, saying, "It takes nearly as much time to craft a estudio model as it does to create a top concert model (excluding artistic embellishments), so why invest time in constructing a guitar with subpar materials?" True to this vision, the Model 15 is a fully professional concert guitar, delivering the volume, projection, and sonic excellence to support this claim.
As Paulino personally crafts the tops of all guitars bearing his name, the sound quality of the Model 15 is unmistakably Bernabé. It is renowned for its powerful, resolute Spanish voice, impressive volume, projection, presence, tonal consistency, balance, and an extensive palette of tonal colors. This model exemplifies the artistry and dedication that define Paulino Bernabé guitars.
