About the luthier

Dennis Tolz is one of the most respected figures in contemporary German guitar making. Based in Kiel, his work builds on the double-top tradition pioneered by Gernot Wagner, whose influence is evident in Tolz's early adoption and personal refinement of the Nomex sandwich top. His instruments combine structural precision with a distinct tonal identity that merges modern projection and clarity with lyrical warmth. Material selection, resonance tuning, and structural innovation are core aspects of his approach. Today, Tolz guitars are played by acclaimed artists such as David Russell, René Izquierdo, Giampaolo Bandini, and Thibaut Garcia. With a waiting list exceeding a decade, his guitars are among the most sought-after in the field.

About the guitar

This 2024 double-top guitar by Dennis Tolz is an exemplary modern concert instrument, distinguished by its clarity, projection, and tonal depth. The top features an outer spruce layer and an inner cedar layer with a Nomex core, supported by a lightweight fan bracing system. The result is a highly responsive voice with excellent separation and sustain, particularly across dynamic extremes. Indian rosewood back and sides provide a broad harmonic foundation, while doubled cypress linings increase both projection and structural integrity. The top is traditionally French-polished with shellac to preserve its acoustic transparency, while the back and sides are finished in polyurethane for durability.

An internal WaveGuide—a carbon fibre tornavoz—lowers the air resonance frequency to just below the low E string. This contributes to a powerful, grounded bass and enhances the overall tonal cohesion of the instrument. The neck profile and setup offer refined playability tailored for long performances, ensuring a fluid tactile experience. This guitar showcases Tolz’s distinctive blend of acoustic engineering and tonal artistry.

  • 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.
