Every Arrius is built of solid wood, assembled and finished by hand, and delivered numbered with its certificate of authenticity. The models differ in construction, woods and voice, and each answers a different player. Here is how to find your way among them.
The heart of the collection: MPR-5000
If you see only one Arrius, let it be the Arrius MPR-5000. It is the master-grade guitar of our MPR series and the instrument on which much of our reputation was built: special-grade solid Canadian cedar over solid Indian rosewood, an additional resonance port that lets the player hear the full voice of the guitar, a raised ebony fingerboard for free access to the high positions, and a solid ebony armrest. It is warm, deep and generous, and it is the guitar we point most players to first. Discover the MPR-5000.
Classical guitars
S-1000 — the concert instrument

How to choose in three questions
- Where do you play most? In a concert hall or with an ensemble, start with the S-1000. At home, in lessons and in recitals, start with the MPR-5000.
- How high does your music go? If you live above the twelfth fret, choose between the raised fingerboard of the MPR-5000 and the cutaway of the MPR-100 S.
- Which voice do you love? Warm and immediate points to cedar; clear and growing points to spruce. The MPR-400 and MPR-100 S let you choose.
