The Juan Hernández Profesor R-630 offers something increasingly sought after by classical guitarists: the character and musicality of a traditional Spanish classical guitar combined with the comfort of a 630mm short scale and 50mm nut width.
Handcrafted in Spain, this cedar version of the Profesor is an excellent choice for players who prefer a more relaxed left-hand feel, shorter stretches and greater accessibility across the fingerboard — without giving up the sound and character of a serious classical guitar.
Its cedar soundboard and traditional fan bracing give the instrument a warm, responsive and expressive personality, while the East Indian rosewood back and sides contribute richness and depth.
The shorter 630mm scale makes the Profesor particularly interesting for players with smaller hands, guitarists experiencing difficulty with longer stretches, or simply musicians who have discovered that they prefer the comfort and feel of a shorter-scale instrument.
For the student, advancing guitarist or experienced player looking for a comfortable Spanish classical guitar with a traditional voice, the Profesor R-630 offers a very attractive combination of musicality, playability and value.

The Profesor R-630 follows a traditional approach to Spanish classical guitar construction, using fan bracing rather than a more contemporary lattice system.
Paired with cedar, this construction gives the instrument a warm and approachable character with an immediate response beneath the fingers — qualities that make it particularly enjoyable for players who appreciate a traditional classical-guitar voice.
But what truly distinguishes this version is its 630mm scale and 50mm nut.
Compared with the more common 650mm classical-guitar scale, the shorter dimensions reduce the distances the left hand must cover and create a more compact playing experience. For many guitarists, this can make stretches, chord shapes and position changes feel noticeably more comfortable.
It is an excellent reminder that choosing a shorter scale does not have to mean choosing a beginner’s instrument. The Profesor R-630 is simply a different approach to comfort and playability, designed for guitarists who prefer more compact dimensions.
Juan Hernández — Spanish Guitar Making
Juan Hernández represents the tradition of Valencian guitar making in Spain, producing classical and flamenco guitars that combine traditional construction with consistent, player-focused workmanship.
The Profesor sits at an appealing point within his range: a genuine Spanish-made classical guitar offering traditional construction, quality tonewoods and approachable playability without entering the price territory of individually commissioned concert instruments.
In the R-630 configuration, that philosophy becomes particularly interesting for players seeking a serious classical guitar in more comfortable dimensions.
