About the luthier
Andreas Madimenos was born in Athens in 1984. After completing his musical studies, he studied Management and Financial Investments at the Athens University of Economics and Business before beginning his training in guitar making with Greek luthier Pavlos Gypas in 2014. Today he works from his own workshop, developing instruments that draw on both historical and modern ideas. His points of reference range from Vicente Arias and Johann Georg Stauffer to Thomas Humphrey, Greg Smallman and Zbigniew Gnatek, reflecting a broad interest in the evolution of guitar construction and in the relationship between structure, projection and responsiveness. Rather than following one established school, Madimenos continues to explore different construction concepts in search of a personal sound, always with musical control and expressive range at the centre of his work. Among the concert players using his instruments is Rafael Aguirre, who performs on one of Madimenos’s lattice guitars.
About the guitar
Power, immediacy and a dark, rounded tonal core define this 2026 Andreas Madimenos Doubletop No. 83. The guitar responds with striking ease: very little energy is required to bring the sound fully into motion, and notes seem to emerge almost at the instant the string is touched. This quick response gives the instrument a strong sense of presence, yet its power is not accompanied by a hard or aggressive attack. Instead, the sound remains soft around the edges, with a smoothness that allows incidental nail noise to recede naturally into the broader resonance.
One of its most distinctive qualities is the abundance of overtones. They rise easily around the fundamental and give sustained notes a broad, resonant halo without dissolving the tonal core. Harmonics respond with particular freedom, making the guitar especially rewarding in repertoire where upper partials, resonance and lingering sonorities form part of the musical texture. The lower register is deep and substantial, while the overall sound retains a rounded quality even when played with considerable energy. There is considerable volume available, but the guitar does not need to be pushed to reveal it; the response is already alive at a light touch, allowing dynamics to develop from a very responsive foundation.
The construction behind this behaviour represents a new direction in Madimenos’s work. The cedar–Nomex–cedar double top uses his “springs” bracing system, conceived to create an exceptionally lightweight soundboard while reinforcing selected areas with wood. A carbon frame beneath the top forms part of this system, while a second carbon structure reinforces the back. Developed in collaboration with Koumridis, this approach allows Madimenos to control stiffness and stability while keeping the vibrating structure comparatively light. The laminated Indian rosewood back and sides follow the same idea, helping to keep the overall construction lighter than his lattice guitars.
Although certain elements grow out of Madimenos’s experience with lattice construction, the way the soundboard works is fundamentally different. His intention with this Doubletop concept is to combine power, depth, sustain and overtone richness with a more natural and rounded tonal response. In No. 83, these qualities come together convincingly: the guitar has the immediacy and projection associated with modern construction, but its voice remains broad, soft-edged and resonant rather than overtly brilliant. The matched colours of the rosette, bindings and tie block complete the design with a coherent visual identity, while the elevated fingerboard and armrest underline the instrument’s contemporary concert-guitar concept.

Classical Guitars
The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.Look all products of the collection -

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.
