Camps Guitars was founded in 1945 with the aim of making an instrument adapted to the specific needs of every musician. His founder Juan Camps decided to enroll in guitar manufacturing because of his enthusiasm for music, especially guitars, and wood craftsmanship. Nowadays, his sons Jordi and Javier Camps, who at a very early age already showed great interest for the handcrafted trade working and learning from their father at the firm, manage the firm. Over more than 70 years of experience guarantee their commitment for the craftsmanship and quality of their products. In order to keep the quality and craftsmanship standards, all products are produced in own workshop located in Girona (Spain) and according to traditional methods used for centuries by important Spanish luthiers like Antonio Torres.The Camps Primera is a flamenco guitar incredibly comfortable and light. The luthiers have collaborated with acclaimed flamenco performer and pedagogue Manuel Granados who tests and certifies each instrument before it leaves their premises.Its greatest achievement is playability: the neck is exceptionally ergonomic and strengthen with a carbon truss rod, and flamenco action with just the right amount of sizzle from controlled fret-buzz.Concerning the tone, separation between voices is superb and is achieved without the loss of warmth. It also has enormous power as well as quick flamenco-like response giving it great bounce and instant presence.
