After that period, he moved to David Rubio’s workshop in England, where he worked along with another famous luthier: Paul Fischer. In 1974 he established his own workshop in Germany. He is still based in Germany and now also works together with his son Hideo Sato. His son Hideo, who, like his brother, learned classical guitar with Prof. Ansgar Krause, followed the activities in the workshop with great interest from an early age. In 2011, despite a promising career in the software industry in Japan, he decided to dedicate himself entirely to guitar making. After several years of apprenticeship, he builds classical concert guitars together with his father. Hideo utilizes his father’s rich wealth of experience as a foundation for realizing his own ideas. Even his first instruments were played and appreciated by well-known guitarists and professors.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nThe “Prestige” model by Hideo Sato stands as a pinnacle of craftsmanship, nestling at the very top of his guitar lineup. Crafted with highly figured Madagascar rosewood for the back and sides, this guitar is not just a musical instrument but a piece of art, distinguished by its remarkable quality and stunning appearance. One of the most striking features of the “Prestige” model is its exceptional projection, making it an ideal choice for concert performances. The rich tonal colors, warm timbre, and exceptional sensitivity of this guitar offer musicians a spectrum of expressive possibilities, allowing for a deeply personal and nuanced musical exploration. Built in 2023, the guitar remains in excellent condition, showing only superficial signs of play, a testament to its durable craftsmanship and the care it has received.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDespite its near-pristine condition, the “Prestige” model has one repaired hairline crack on the Madagascar rosewood back—a minor flaw that is not uncommon for this type of wood and is considered purely cosmetic. The repair, expertly carried out at the Sato workshop, underscores the meticulous attention to detail and commitment to excellence synonymous with Hideo Sato’s work. This minor imperfection does not affect the guitar’s sound quality, ensuring that the instrument’s tonal integrity remains uncompromised. Owning a Hideo Sato “Prestige” model built in the latest year represents a unique opportunity for enthusiasts and professionals alike to acquire a top-of-the-line instrument without the usual waiting time and at a sensible price. This guitar embodies the perfect blend of aesthetic beauty, exceptional playability, and sonic excellence, making it a coveted piece for any serious guitarist’s collection.","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52473807044941,"sku":"KS00078","price":10990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/Hideo-Sato--2023-Prestige-14.jpg?v=1763036851"},{"product_id":"carlos-perez-nanclares-1952","title":"Carlos Perez Nanclares - 1952","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nCarlos Perez de Nanclares stands in the Madrid lineage of guitar making and is closely connected with the Ramirez workshop, where he is described as one of the most gifted pupils to emerge from that circle. An article in the \u003cem\u003eÖsterreichische Gitarre Zeitschrift\u003c\/em\u003e (Austrian Guitar Journal) presents him as a new star among Spanish makers and praises the depth of his basses, the luminous singing quality of his trebles and the immaculate interior workmanship that reveals a calm and methodical craftsman at the bench.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThe same source places Nanclares within a broader movement of Spanish makers and players who were drawn to Paris in the first half of the 20th century. Manuel Ramirez had once considered opening a workshop there before deciding to remain in Madrid. José Gómez Ramirez later moved to Paris around 1914, and Robert Bouchet built his first guitar there in 1946. Paris had by then become an important centre where Spanish builders and musicians met a wider European public. Nanclares belongs to this context as a Spaniard formed in the Ramirez tradition who later worked in Paris. The article documents his Paris workshop at \u003cem\u003e144 rue de Foutenay, Vincennes\u003c\/em\u003e and that his activity continued at least into the 1950s.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThis 1952 instrument shows Nanclares working with assurance and a very clear sound ideal. The bridge has ornamented wings that bring José Ramirez I to mind, while the tie block is deliberately plain, which keeps the whole design quiet and focused. The rosette carries an intricate mosaic, and a very fine \u003cem\u003epluma\u003c\/em\u003e line follows the purfling around the top. The headstock has an understated elegance, and the original tuning machines are still present and in very good working order. The instrument is signed on the underside of the top, and the build year 1952 is clearly stated.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThe voice of this guitar is distinctive and memorable. The separation of the voices is remarkable, so inner lines and bass melodies remain clearly shaped even in dense textures. The overall character is graceful and poised, yet the guitar has such an individual colour that its sound can be recognised among many instruments. The response is immediate and the guitar rewards a light touch with clear, singing notes. Its dynamic range is broad. Quiet playing keeps warmth and definition, while stronger projection opens the sound freely without harshness and without losing refinement in the trebles. The light build and the spruce top give the attack a quick bloom, and the Brazilian rosewood deepens the colour and resonance of the lower register. The air body resonance lies between G sharp and A and can be felt as a subtle support to the main voice of the instrument rather than a dominant emphasis in the bass. The overall impression is of a poetic and articulate guitar that invites nuanced and expressive playing.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\nThis instrument shows the traces of careful use, and after a long musical life has been carefully restored. The top presents several repaired cracks. There is one crack on each side of the fretboard, both reinforced with cleats. A longer crack runs along the left wing of the bridge, with the lower section supported by cleats. Other cracks in the top have been glued without need of additional reinforcement. The sides also show several repaired cracks. The back contains multiple repaired cracks that have been stabilised with cleats. All restoration work is stable and has been carried out in a professional manner. The French polish on the soundboard and body displays natural ageing and wear consistent with regular careful use. The original tuners remain in place, function well and are in very good condition for their age.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52808428323149,"sku":"P00017","price":999999999.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/Carlos-Perez-Nanclares-1962-65-cm-14.jpg?v=1763737909"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/collections\/meistergitarre.oembed","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
