Oren Myers

Oren Myers is an English luthier whose path to guitar making began after university, when he transformed his parents’ garage into a workshop and built his first instruments with guidance from Christopher Dean. A formative course with José Romanillos deepened his understanding of wood selection, traditional Spanish construction, and tonal aesthetics. Myers’ guitars evolve through subtle refinements in thicknesses and dimensions, aiming for an ideal balance of projection, clarity, warmth, sweetness, and depth. His work unites craftsmanship, music, and artistic design, resulting in expressive, traditionally inspired concert guitars.

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.

Oren Myers – Guitar Maker

From Literature to Guitar Making

Oren Myers studied English Literature at university and later recalled a brief desire during his school years to build a guitar. After finishing his studies, he converted his parents’ garage into a workshop and began learning the craft from a book. Luthier Christopher Dean supported him by selling him wood and offering help whenever needed – an offer Oren made frequent use of.

Inspiration from Romanillos

After building several instruments, Oren attended a course with José Romanillos in Spain. This memorable experience deepened his understanding of wood selection, construction techniques, and the focused tonal concept of a master luthier.

Craft, Music, and Returning to His Passion

For Oren, guitar making uniquely combines music, craftsmanship, and artistic design. After deciding as a teenager not to pursue formal guitar studies, lutherie became a meaningful way for him to return to the world of music.

Gradual Evolution Toward an Ideal Sound

His early guitars followed traditional building methods. Since then, Oren has refined his instruments through very small adjustments to wood thicknesses and body dimensions – never more than one or two variables per guitar. His goal is a balanced sound with liveliness, projection, clarity, warmth, sweetness, and depth.
