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
Renan Aouam, born in 1986, developed a passion for music at an early age, first studying piano before discovering his love for woodworking during an internship with a restorer of antique furniture. Driven by curiosity, he began building guitars on his own before pursuing formal training in Madrid.
In 2018, he opened his first workshop in Pamplona, marking the official start of his professional career as a luthier. A pivotal encounter with Jean-Noël Rohé profoundly influenced his building techniques and led to a transformation in his craftsmanship. In 2021, Renan returned to France and established a close connection with Jean-Pierre Mazé, a close associate of Robert Bouchet. Mazé shared with him invaluable insights gained from Bouchet, along with his own vast experience in guitar making.
Craftsmanship and Tonal Aesthetics
His latest guitar features a spruce soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides with striking grain patterns and traditional bracing. The reinforced sides contribute to enhanced projection and tonal balance. The sound is powerful yet refined, responding easily and offering rich tonal colors with minimal effort.
The instrument provides an exceptionally responsive playing experience, allowing for a wide range of tonal expression and dynamic control. Its vibratos produce an airy quality in the overtones, adding a sense of depth and sophistication to the sound.
Influence and Style
Renan Aouam’s work reflects the heritage of the French guitar-making tradition while embracing a contemporary artistic vision. His instruments combine traditional craftsmanship, precision, and expressive character, offering musicians an inspiring and responsive instrument that invites exploration of a broad musical palette.
