About the luthier
Curt Claus Voigt’s career spans decades of craftsmanship and study, rooted in a rich family tradition of luthiery. He began his apprenticeship in Markneukirchen at the Marma, Karl Bauer KG workshop, a small company known for building a wide variety of plucked string instruments. Trained by his grandfather Kurt Voigt, his father Günter Voigt, and master violin maker Hans Zölch, Curt Claus developed a deep understanding of both traditional and historical instruments. He passed his master’s examination in 1980 and went on to work as a restorer for several renowned museums and private collections. In 1988, he took over the family workshop, Kurt Voigt & Sohn, and relocated it to Wasserburg am Inn, Upper Bavaria. His continuing education includes masterclasses with José Romanillos and extensive study of historic guitars across Europe. Today, Curt Claus Voigt is celebrated for instruments that combine historical knowledge with innovative features, all crafted with exceptional precision and artistic care.About the guitar
This 2020 “Espressivo” model is an outstanding example of Voigt’s philosophy: expressive sound, and playability. It features a spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, all finished in high-quality French polish. This model is built using a lightweight lattice bracing system, enhancing the top’s responsiveness and balance across all registers. The instrument incorporates several advanced design features, including an elevated fingerboard for improved access to higher frets, a sound port in the upper bout for enhanced player feedback, and a fluidly arched back that contributes to its outstanding projection and tonal complexity. The zero fret, a nod to traditional German guitar building, supports a smooth transition between open and fretted notes, contributing to the guitar’s even tonal quality.Condition

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.
