More details about the guitar

About the luthier

Davide Scacchi is a guitar maker based in Milan whose work is centered on the Torres tradition. Rather than treating this model as a historical reference alone, he has devoted his workshop practice to studying and refining this approach with real consistency. That concentration on a clearly defined concept gives his instruments a strong internal coherence, with every construction decision serving weight, response, and tonal immediacy.

His dedication to this style has led to instruments of remarkable refinement, shaped by low overall weight and a notably low air resonance. In Scacchi’s work, the Torres ideal is not reduced to outward resemblance, but pursued through responsiveness, flexibility of color, and a direct physical connection between player and sound.

About the guitar

This new Davide Scacchi from 2026 is a traditionally built concert guitar with a strikingly individual voice. Built with a spruce top and birdseye maple back and sides, it responds with great speed and produces a sound that is forward, vivid, and highly immediate. The instrument is exceptionally light in the hands, and that lightness is clearly felt in the ease with which the tone speaks.

Its sound is powerful and colorful, with very deep basses and a slightly boxy character in the most attractive sense, giving the voice definition and personality rather than dryness. What makes the guitar especially compelling is its elasticity. Even small changes in the right hand produce noticeable shifts in color and nuance, allowing the player to shape phrases with unusual freedom. The result is a guitar that feels alive under the fingers and remains highly responsive to musical intention.

Although inspired by the Torres concept, this instrument does not feel historical in a narrow sense. It offers projection, immediacy, and a broad tonal palette while preserving clarity and control. The low body resonance supports the depth of the bass response and contributes to the guitar’s strong sense of presence, making it a refined and distinctive modern interpretation of a traditional idea.

  • 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.

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.
