Though brief, this early training laid the technical foundation for his first guitar. While later completing a degree in musicology, he continued to build instruments independently. In 2008, during a long-term stay abroad, he decided to devote himself fully to lutherie. Over the next four years, he focused on historical instruments — lutes, Baroque and Romantic guitars — alongside selected classical models.\r\n\r\nSince 2012, Hugues has worked from his workshop in Merry La Vallée, Burgundy, where he now specializes in classical guitars. His work reflects both his experience with historical instruments and his methodical approach to construction. Each guitar is the result of precise, consistent craftsmanship, shaped by a deep familiarity with the traditions of the instrument.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThis classical guitar, completed in 2025, is built using traditional methods and reflects Hugues Boivin’s disciplined, detail-oriented approach. The structure follows a classic seven-fan bracing design with a transverse bar placed behind the bridge, offering both stability and tonal clarity. The spruce top is paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, a time-tested combination that delivers articulate trebles and a well-defined bass response.\r\n\r\nThe rosette is selected with care, harmonizing visually with the color and texture of the top. The French polish finish enhances the natural grain and provides an acoustically responsive surface. The neck features a 51.5 mm nut width and a 650 mm scale, ensuring traditional playability and consistent string spacing.\r\n\r\nTonally, the instrument is balanced and focused. The trebles are clear and controlled, while the basses support with definition rather than excess resonance. The response is direct, rewarding precise articulation, and suited to repertoire that benefits from clarity and dynamic control. The Perona tuners operate with precision and complement the understated elegance of the overall design.","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52470086926669,"sku":"KS17776","price":6990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/hugues-boivin-2025-15.jpg?v=1763025837"},{"product_id":"armin-hanika-he-doubletop-n","title":"Armin Hanika - HE Doubletop N","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nAt HANIKA craftsmanship is understood as custom work and sound as art.

By 1921, he received a license for his own workshop at Calle Aduana 27, although some guitars prior to this date bore the Plaza de Nicolas Salmerón address. Notably, a rosewood guitar dating from as early as 1918 already featured the Aduana label, indicating early ownership of the location.

After studying music and classical guitar at the Nancy Conservatory in the late 1990s, he pursued his passions for photography, cinema, animation, and architecture, working for nearly a decade in Paris as a 3D graphic designer on feature films, commercials, animated movies, and architectural visualizations. During this time, his love for classical guitar deepened, and he became fascinated by the craftsmanship of master guitar makers, exploring their work through collectors, books, concerts, and recordings. Inspired by the unique tonal personalities of iconic guitars, Nicolas built his first instrument, a success that motivated him to continue. With guidance from Dominique Field and Thomas Norwood, he left Paris to establish himself as a guitar maker in Corrèze, in the heart of France. Today, his finely crafted concert guitars are renowned for their exceptional quality and are played by remarkable musicians and students in conservatories across France.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThis instrument reflects Nicolas Lamoureux’s ongoing refinement of his concert model, shaped by insights gained through building replicas and studying historical guitars.

These additions contribute to a richer overall tone and a more directional sound projection.\r\n\r\nAt the core of the soundboard lies an asymmetrical five-fan bracing system, a layout commonly associated with Field’s approach, enhanced by a slanted harmonic bar reminiscent of those in 19th-century French guitars by René Lacôte. This configuration supports clarity and brilliance in the trebles while maintaining strong presence in the midrange. Lightweight bracing beneath the bridge ensures immediate responsiveness and a broad dynamic range, allowing for expressive articulation. Built using traditional methods, the Indian rosewood back and sides offer tonal warmth and playing comfort. Visually, the guitar remains understated and elegant, with a rosette that pays tribute to a 1990 Dominique Field guitar that Lamoureux himself once played.

The top is built with two transverse bars, one above and one below the soundhole, seven fan braces, and an additional transverse bar at bridge level. Heights, thicknesses and spacing are intentionally asymmetrical to allow the strings to express their full character. The rosette is inspired by the work of Santos Hernández. The back and sides are Indian rosewood and the cedar neck contains a concealed hardwood reinforcement. The ebony fingerboard and headplate give a sober solidity. The bridge is light and crafted from rosewood with coloured wood inlays and bone. Rubner El Sonido tuners complete the instrument. The finish is French polish.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThe sound has an intimate and inviting quality. The tone is bright and smiling yet never sharp and the basses are remarkably deep for an instrument of this weight. A gentle veil of overtones surrounds the main voice and gives each note a luminous shape. The air body resonance lies around F and can be felt as a subtle undercurrent that breathes warmly beneath the fundamentals. The response is immediate and expressive even at soft dynamics and the guitar opens naturally when played with strength without losing its clarity. One of the most striking qualities is the comfort of the instrument. The left hand glides freely across the fingerboard and complex passages feel unusually accessible. The overall impression is of a finely balanced guitar that combines intimacy with depth and presents a vivid and poetic tonal landscape.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52808389329229,"sku":"S18722","price":5990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/rojas-sanzol-2025-44.jpg?v=1763741861"},{"product_id":"armin-hanika-he-torres-custom-spruce-maple-1","title":"Armin Hanika - HE-Torres Custom Spruce\/Maple","description":"At HANIKA craftsmanship is understood as custom work and sound as art.

He began his training in 1991 in a guitar construction course led by Juan Miguel Carmona. In the following years he continued his formation with Manuel and Jesús Bellido, before completing his training primarily under the guidance of Rafael Moreno, whose workshop and friendship had a lasting influence on his development as a maker.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nIn 1994 Garcia Fernandez co founded the cooperative workshop “La Granadina” together with four colleagues. The initiative operated until 1997 and formed an important early stage in his professional career. After the cooperative ended he established his own workshop in La Zubia near Granada, where he worked until 2005.

From an early stage he worked on smaller wooden objects, and this practical familiarity with the material gradually developed into a more focused interest in structure, behaviour, and craftsmanship. He later studied Wood Engineering at the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana, where he deepened his understanding of wood properties, construction logic, and acoustic performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA decisive musical influence came through his sister, the professional guitarist Neža Lopatič, whose work brought the classical guitar into close personal reach. In 2021 he built his first classical guitar, and since then the instrument has become the centre of his workshop activity. His background gives his work a particular character. Rather than approaching the guitar only through inherited models, he brings an engineering based way of thinking to questions of resonance, material choice, and structural efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAlthough still in an early phase of his career, Lopatič already shows a clear interest in connecting scientific understanding with practical making. His guitars reflect an effort to work consciously with the acoustic potential of the material, while keeping the result musically direct and usable for the player. That balance between technical awareness and straightforward musical purpose is one of the defining aspects of his work so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 spruce and Indian rosewood guitar is built along traditional lines, yet its character is defined less by dryness or restraint than by a notable sense of carry in the tone. The notes hold on and continue, with a sustain that is immediately apparent and gives the instrument a certain breadth in the way sound unfolds. Rather than producing a sharply percussive response, the guitar lets the tone travel forward and remain present.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThat sustaining quality is supported by a strong tonal core. The sound has weight, but not heaviness in the negative sense. There is substance in the note, a feeling that each tone is firmly formed and pushed outward with continuity. At the same time, the guitar is not dark. Its colour tends toward brightness, which keeps the sound open and gives definition to the upper register. This combination of tonal mass and brightness is one of the most characteristic aspects of the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe response is therefore not built around maximum speed, but around stability and length. For some players that will be exactly the attraction. The guitar does not rush the note out, but gives it time to settle and develop. In return, it offers a sustained line, clear colour, and a traditional voice with enough presence to fill the space convincingly. There is also a pleasing sense of ease in the handling of the instrument, which contributes to the overall impression of steadiness and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLopatič’s guitar stands out through this combination of bright clarity, long decay, and tonal substance.
