Frequently Asked Questions About Classical Guitars

How do I choose the right classical guitar for my level?

Choosing the right classical guitar depends on your playing level, musical goals, and budget. Beginners benefit from studio-model guitars from renowned workshops, while advanced players and professionals often choose a handmade master guitar. We are happy to advise you personally and can send detailed sound samples and videos on request.

What is the difference between a master guitar and a studio guitar?

Master guitars are built entirely by hand in the workshop of a single luthier, using only high-quality, well-aged tonewoods. Studio guitars are made in small series, often under the supervision of the master luthier, and offer excellent value for students and ambitious amateur players.

Can I try a classical guitar at home for 14 days?

Yes — every guitar you purchase from us comes with a 14-day home approval period. This complimentary trial applies worldwide to all orders, whether you are in Germany, Europe, the USA, Asia or anywhere else. We ship your instrument fully insured in a high-quality case so you can play it under your own acoustic conditions. If the guitar is not the right one for you, simply send it back and receive a full refund of the purchase price.

Can I try a classical guitar before purchasing?

Absolutely. You are warmly invited to visit our showroom in Karlsruhe, Germany, and test the instruments at your leisure. We are happy to schedule a personal appointment. If a visit is not possible, we send detailed videos and sound samples, and offer extensive consultation by phone or video call.

What payment methods and financing options do you offer?

We accept bank transfer, PayPal, major credit cards, and Klarna. For high-value instruments, we offer individual installment plans on request. Please contact us directly — we will find a suitable solution for every budget.

How do I properly care for my classical guitar?

A classical guitar requires constant humidity between 45 and 55 percent. Store the instrument in its case with a humidifier, avoid direct sunlight and large temperature fluctuations. Change the strings regularly and clean the guitar with a soft microfiber cloth.

This collection brings together classical guitars with a scale length of 63 cm (630 mm) and shorter. While the standard concert-guitar scale is 65 cm (650 mm), a shorter scale reduces string tension and shortens the reach between frets — making these instruments noticeably easier and more comfortable to play.

What “63 cm Scale and Smaller” Means

The scale length is the vibrating length of the string, measured from nut to saddle. A shorter scale means the frets sit closer together and the strings are under less tension. The result is a softer, more relaxed feel under the left hand and easier stretches — without giving up the sound and quality of a full classical guitar.

Who a Short-Scale Guitar Is For

A 63 cm or shorter scale is ideal for players with smaller hands, younger or growing players moving up from fractional sizes, guitarists returning to the instrument, and anyone who finds a standard 650 mm scale a stretch. The lower string tension is also gentler on the fingertips, which many players find more comfortable for long practice sessions.

Tone and Playability

A shorter scale slightly lowers string tension, which can give a warmer, more immediate response and a very easy playing feel. Many fine luthiers build short-scale instruments to full master-guitar standards, so you keep rich tone and projection while gaining comfort.
