Honest Pricing Guarantee

At Pavan, honesty guides everything we do—including how we price our guitars. You won’t find inflated markups, seasonal discounts, or retail tricks here.

Each instrument is priced to reflect the real cost of Spanish craftsmanship and the value it brings you. By building in small batches and keeping our business lean, we avoid waste and keep prices fair—so you can be confident you’re always paying a fair price.

Specifications

  • Solid Spruce top

  • Solid East Indian rosewood sides and back

  • Ebony fretboard

  • Cutaway design

  • 650mm string length

  • 50mm nut width

  • Bone nut and saddle 

  • Ebony neck reinforcement

  • Dot at 5th, 7th, and 9th frets

Set Up

Every Pavan is given a professional setup before it leaves our hands, including fret leveling and crowning to ensure the guitar plays its very best.

For nylon string guitars there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all playing action—the ideal string height depends on your style, technique, and preference. Flamenco and crossover players often want the strings as low as possible for speed and comfort, while a classical purist would find that same setup full of buzz.

That’s why we tailor each setup to your needs—we can go as low or as high as you like. If you’re unsure, we recommend a balanced setup of about 3.6mm on the low E and 2.8mm on the high E.

We can include extra saddles to give you the flexibility to adjust higher or lower later on!

Shipping & Returns

Buying a guitar should be stress-free. That’s why shipping is always free, and returns are simple. We provide a prepaid return label if your Pavan isn’t the right match . No hassle, no risk—just the chance to find the guitar that you’ll love.

End

The TP-30-AC is a popular model among jazz and crossover players who are looking for a nylon-string cutaway that sounds great both live and in the studio. 

Like the TP-30, the TP-30-AC is constructed with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides. The guitar produces a sound that is firm, clear, and responsive with broad tonal range and great sustain. 

The TP-30-AC features a 650mm string length and a comfortable 50mm nut width, with a cutaway design for easy access to the higher frets.

The Pavan TP-30 AC guitar features solid East Indian Rosewood sides and back, an ebony fretboard, a 50mm nut width, a reinforced neck, bone nut and saddle, and a 650mm string scale.

Spruce soundboards are renowned for their clear tone and distinct voice separation. This is because spruce tends to emphasize the primary octave overtone above the fundamental note played. For instance, striking a G will result in a stronger presence of the G an octave higher in the overtone series compared to other partials. The clarity of spruce is particularly suited to music with intricate contrapuntal or multiple voices, such as compositions by JS Bach. While some players favor spruce and others cedar, it ultimately boils down to personal preference. I encourage you to listen to the provided videos/sound samples.

The soundboards of the Pavan TP-30 AC are meticulously crafted in a custom shop by experienced guitar makers, each one tailored by hand. The soundboard is intentionally thicker around the bridge area of the lower bout, gradually thinning towards the sides. Utilizing a treble bar and 6-fan braces for bracing, this design yields a solid, clear, well-balanced tone with superb responsiveness and delightful tonal nuances. This guitar epitomizes what I envisioned when I founded Pavan Guitars: delivering a top-tier recital-quality instrument at an honest and affordable price point for guitarists seeking an alternative to my pricier handcrafted concert guitars.

Classical guitarists who visit my shop to explore Spanish guitars often find themselves greatly impressed by the Pavan TP-20 models, yet ultimately opt for the Pavan TP-30 guitar. Even slight differences in sound can significantly sway discerning players.

Currently, I don't offer classical guitars priced above the Pavan TP-30 models. If I were to introduce a higher-priced model, it wouldn't offer superior sound to the TP-30. Only a guitar crafted by an exceptionally skilled luthier might surpass it. And I should know—I am both a luthier and a seasoned classical guitarist.
