About the luthier
Anže Lopatič, born in Ljubljana, Slovenia in 1998, has been passionate about woodworking since 2013. His journey began with crafting smaller items such as cutting boards, side tables, and home decor. These early projects sparked a lasting appreciation for the beauty, versatility, and challenges of working with wood. This passion led Anže to enroll in the Wood Engineering program at the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana, where he is currently completing his Master’s degree. His academic background has given him in-depth knowledge of wood properties, structural behavior, and acoustic performance. His sister, professional guitarist Neža Lopatič, played a major role in his appreciation for music and inspired him to build his first classical guitar in 2021. Since then, guitar making has become his primary focus, blending craftsmanship, science, and artistic expression. Anže applies a scientific approach to achieve optimal acoustic performance on each of his guitars. His engineering background enables him to thoughtfully select tonewoods and design guitars that are resonant, balanced, and responsive.About the guitar
This 2025 Prestige model is built with a Slovenian spruce top sourced from the mountain forests of the Pokljuka region. The back and sides are made of Indian rosewood, with the sides doubled using a maple inner layer. This structure reinforces the guitar and adds stiffness, resulting in improved projection and greater volume. The bracing is based on Daniel Friederich’s conecept, an asymmetrical pattern that Anže has modified to enhance tonal balance and responsiveness. The neck is made of cedar and reinforced with two carbon rods for stability. It features an ebony fingerboard, a 650 mm scale length, a nut width of 51.5 mm, and a width of 62 mm at the 12th fret. Schaller GrandTune tuners are installed for precision tuning. The guitar is finished with hand-applied French polish, preserving the wood’s natural resonance while providing a classic aesthetic. The instrument delivers excellent volume, strong projection, and a complex, balanced tone. One of the guitar’s signature features is the rosette, inspired by the iconic designs of José Romanillos. It has remained Anže’s favorite since he first encountered it, and it adds a distinctive and personal touch to this fine instrument.

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.
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.
