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.

About the Guitar Maker
Jeremie Geffroy, from Saint Gildas de Rhuys in Brittany, France, stands out in the world of guitar making for his distinctive approach and deep understanding of tonal aesthetics. A passionate craftsman, Geffroy skillfully blends modern techniques with a profound respect for traditional sound ideals, creating instruments that embody both innovation and heritage.
His work reflects a clear philosophy: to achieve a perfect harmony between progress and tradition. This vision is beautifully demonstrated in his 2023 guitar, one of his most recent creations, which unites contemporary construction methods with a classic tonal character. The instrument features a cedar soundboard, chosen for its warm, rich, and expressive tonal quality.
One of the defining aspects of Geffroy’s guitars is his use of a radial bracing system—a modern approach further refined by incorporating carbon fiber reinforcements. This design not only enhances the instrument’s tonal response but also improves its structural integrity. Geffroy’s innovative craftsmanship perfectly embodies his philosophy: a seamless fusion of tradition and modernity in the art of contemporary luthiery.
