The Otto Vowinkel Model 3A Cedar is a wonderful choice for the guitarist looking for a beautifully made, all-solid-wood Spanish classical guitar that combines quality, comfort and musicality at an especially attractive price point.
Designed by renowned luthier Otto Vowinkel and produced in Spain under his guidance and quality-control requirements, the Model 3A reflects a preference toward the character and proportions associated with the Granada school of Spanish guitar making.
Its slightly smaller body makes the guitar particularly comfortable to hold, while the full 650mm scale and 52mm nutretain familiar classical proportions for the left hand. Light and easy to play, it is an inviting instrument for longer practice sessions, lessons and everyday music making.
The Cedar soundboard paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides gives this version a sweet, pleasant and expressive character, making it especially appealing to players who appreciate warmth and an immediate musical response.
For the advancing or intermediate guitarist looking to move into a well-built, all-solid-wood Spanish instrument, the Vowinkel 3A offers a particularly compelling combination of craftsmanship, playability and value.

The Guitar
The Model 3A was designed by Otto Vowinkel and is produced in Spain according to his guidance and quality-control requirements.
Its design shows a preference toward the Granada style of Spanish classical guitars, with a slightly smaller body that contributes to the instrument’s comfortable feel and easy handling.
The combination of a Cedar soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides, together with its all-solid-wood construction, gives the 3A Cedar an appealing balance of traditional materials, musical character and excellent value.
It is an especially attractive choice for the guitarist who has progressed beyond an entry-level instrument and is looking for a serious, well-built Spanish classical guitar without making the jump into the price range of an individually handcrafted concert instrument.
Otto Vowinkel
Dutch luthier Otto Vowinkel is known for his work in the classical-guitar tradition and for instruments influenced by the great Spanish schools of guitar making.
The Model 3A extends his design philosophy into a more accessible instrument. While produced in Spain rather than individually handcrafted by Vowinkel himself, the model is designed by Otto Vowinkel and manufactured under his guidance and quality-control requirements.
This provides players with an opportunity to experience an instrument carrying Vowinkel’s design approach while benefiting from the tradition of Spanish guitar production.
