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
Nicolas Lamoureux is a French luthier with a rich and diverse background. After studying music and classical guitar at the Conservatory of Nancy in the late 1990s, he devoted himself to other artistic passions such as photography, cinema, animation, and architecture. For nearly a decade, he worked in Paris as a 3D graphic designer for feature films, commercials, animated movies, and architectural visualizations.
During this period, his love for the classical guitar deepened. Fascinated by the artistry of great guitar makers, he studied their craftsmanship through collectors, books, concerts, and recordings. Inspired by the distinctive tonal personalities of legendary instruments, Nicolas built his first guitar—a successful experience that motivated him to fully pursue luthiery.
With the guidance and support of esteemed luthiers Dominique Field and Thomas Norwood, he left Paris and established his workshop in Corrèze, in the heart of France. Today, his finely crafted concert guitars are renowned for their exceptional tonal quality, elegant craftsmanship, and refined aesthetic. They are played by notable musicians and students in conservatories throughout France, admired for their balance, responsiveness, and expressive sound.
