Overview

Brian Itzkin is a luthier native of New York, USA. He built his first guitar at the age of 13. After gaining experience in both classical and acoustic guitar building, Brian Itzkin joined the workshop of the renowned Stephen Hill in Herradura, Spain to further develop his skills under the guidance of the master.

This original concert model is heavily inspired in both shape and proportion by a mid-1960s Bouchet and 1880s Antonio de Torres. The strutting system is Brian's latest interpretation of the Bouchet/Granada system, and this gorgeous instrument features three rosewoods: Guatemalan (Dalbergia cubilquitzensis) for the back, sides, and head plate, Madagascar (Dalbergia Baronii) for the bridge, and Brazilian Kingwood (Dalbergia Cearensis) for the bindings. Another interesting feature is the rather thin Arias-inspired fretboard that looks wonderful and provides playability reminiscent of romantic guitars with flush fretboards.

Soundwise, this guitar really impressed us with its openness and responsiveness. It is effortless to play and reacts faithfully to the stroke, allowing crazy dynamic changes and showing a vivid, colorful, and rich tone.

Brian Itzkin 2021 No. 24 Classical Guitar -  Ständchen by F. Schubert

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • 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.
