Pavan TP-30 Models
Tom built concert guitars by hand for decades. The TP-30 is that design, made accessible. Responsive, balanced bass and treble, rich overtones.
Cedar or Spruce?
Cedar opens up quickly and responds well to a lighter touch — warm, colored, and forgiving.
Spruce is brighter, with a clarity that cuts through and rewards a more developed technique. Both are exceptional — honestly, on a recording you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart. Trust your gut.

TOP Solid Cedar
BACK & SIDES Solid Indian Rosewood
SCALE 650mm · 52mm nut
PRICE $1,795
Solid cedar top, lightly built. Warm and open, with a sustain that catches people off guard. It won't match the tonal depth of the TP-20 or TP-30 — but it's a genuinely enjoyable guitar to pick up every day.

Pavan Flamenca Negra

Built for flamenco technique. More lightly built than our classical models — lower action, faster response, percussive attack. Solid rosewood back and sides give the Negra more tonal variation and depth than a traditional blanca.
