Bertrand Ligier is a French luthier based in Connaux, near Avignon, in southern France. His guitars follow the French tradition and are crafted with great finesse. Particular attention is given to the French polish, and the sound qualities follow those of Dominique Field and Daniel Friederich’s guitars. Bertrand has adopted some aesthetic details from the history of guitar making and has made them his own with outstanding refinement and taste. For instance, the shape of the head as well as the illuminations and the size of the label, are reminiscent of Robert Bouchet's. The rosette is of the utmost delicacy, and the intricate mosaic pieces that compose it are assembled with skillful precision.

Numbered 97 and almost mint, with just a couple of barely visible marks on the glass-like French polish, this guitar is a testament to Ligier's skill and dedication to his craft. The French guitar-making tradition has long been renowned for its finesse and elegance, and Ligier continues this legacy with spectacular craftsmanship quality displayed on this guitar. The rosette is particularly noteworthy, showing a hidden homage to Daniel Friederich's rosette with details in the tenth of a millimeter size; it is an actual work of genius. The colors and shape of the central mosaic are mesmerizing, and the overall effect is a breathtaking fresco that tells the story of the French guitar-making school. But it is not only the visual aspect of this guitar that is exceptional. The sound of this instrument is equally impressive, offering balance, volume, and elegance. Each note has remarkable sustain and equilibrium, and the guitar's multidimensional sound gives guitarists genuine freedom of expression.

Classical Guitar
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 -
