Preview "Classical guitars":

The classical guitar range contains 3 models: Advanced, Master and Artist.

All instruments are made by the same luthiers with the same care in our newly set up workshop.

 

All guitars are made of the best materials incl. only full solid woods and have a DoubleTrad® (sandwiched) top, made of best European spruce (Alpine-, Austrian-, Caucasian-, Italian- or Swiss spruce).

We don´t offer our DoubleTrad® toped guitars with Cedar as we think this wood is not a good choice for this type of construction. For other construction types this species fits better.

We are glad to discuss with you other options or custom work - everything is possible, as we produce in limited quantities on an limited base.

We use our own shopmade shellac that we call HardInstrumentShellac
("H-I-S®"). We started with the idea of other shellac products (like "Hard Shellac" from U-Beaut, which was originally development for furniture makers) and mix now regular shellac flakes with our own cross-linking addition to adapt it to the special needs for polishing and long-time preservation of fine acoustic guitars.

We produce this stuff here in our workshop (and sometimes sell it to luthiers).
