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.

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.

Fernando Mazza – Master Guitar Maker

Fernando Mazza is an exceptional guitar maker. First and foremost, it should be noted that he is a guitarist himself. He completed his guitar studies at the Alberto Ginastera Conservatory in Buenos Aires, although he ultimately discovered his true passion in guitar construction.

His demands as a professional performer, combined with his experience, training, and mastery of construction techniques, bring together the best of two perspectives – the player’s needs and what the craftsman can accomplish to meet them.

Fernando is a tireless artisan who does not settle for building a good guitar; his obsession is to build the best guitar. He has spent a great deal of time studying and analyzing construction styles, traditional methods, and modern techniques in order to develop a model that unites the best of both worlds: the traditional system and the most advanced construction techniques.

Fernando builds his guitars using the Australian system (Smallman type, lattice bracing), but significantly improved. He has managed to combine the strength, stability, and harmonic richness of the Australian concept with the essential sound of the Spanish guitar.

He has also added two highly valuable features. A neck with an adjustable two-way truss rod, which, together with its thin construction, enables a very low string action and results in one of the easiest-to-play guitars worldwide. Furthermore, Mazza has introduced a sound port, an elliptical opening that provides additional power and projection for both the listener and, most importantly, the guitarist.

Fernando Mazza has created a fantastic, unique, and impressive guitar distinguished by tone, power, projection, and comfort. An excellent investment in terms of quality, sound, performance, playability, and long-term value. One of the most intriguing guitar makers on the international scene.
