"The Modela Especial has a longer scale length than the Modela Alemán, and it is a bit larger and more robust, it is a design that may be better for some players.

These are photographs of  the Modela Especial style guitar, which was inspired by the  Ramirez 1a from the mid-1960s.  As is the case with all Thomas Beltran guitars, each one is named, rather than given a serial number.  Customers can choose any wood for the top and back/sides.  The sides are laminated with another wood such as Poplar or Spanish Cypress on the inside.  The scale length is 664 or 665 mm.

As with all Thomas Beltran guitars, each one is individually hand-made.  On this guitar, the sides and back are of Brazilian Rosewood, and the top is from Western Red Cedar.  The neck is made of Spanish Cedar, and the fretboard is ebony.

If you are looking for a shorter scale length, you might want to consider purchasing a Thomas Beltran style guitars based on the Hauser shape.
