About the luthier
Fabio Schmidt approached guitar making through the Civica Scuola di Liuteria in Milan, where he studied during the 2004/2005 academic year under Aldo Illotta, Lorenzo Lippi, and Gabriele Negri. In 2007, he completed a year of training with Roberto De Miranda, with whom he continues to collaborate. He has also attended seminars with Tiziano Rizzi, Enrico Bottelli, and Roberto De Miranda, and since 2008 has regularly taken part in guitar making festivals and exhibitions throughout Italy. Having worked in Lombardy, Apulia, and Piedmont, Schmidt has developed close collaborations with excellent guitarists in each region. He currently lives and works in Lodi.
Schmidt’s philosophy is shaped by the idea that a musical instrument is never merely an object, but the means through which a musician expresses artistic identity. His guitars seek the charm of the traditional Spanish guitar while pursuing the efficiency and responsiveness of contemporary instruments. Although inspired by historical Spanish lutherie, his work is modern and personal in conception, with particular attention to sincerity of construction, detail, and the elusive quality that allows each instrument to become individual in the hands of its player.
About the guitar
This 2026 Fabio Schmidt is a traditional concert guitar with a spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, built with the elegance and clarity that define his personal approach. Its voice is refined rather than forceful at first impression, yet it reveals an impressive dynamic range and a confident sense of projection. The spruce gives the sound a lucid, finely articulated surface, while the Indian rosewood adds warmth, depth, and a polished harmonic frame.
The character of this guitar lies especially in its treble register. The upper voices are delicate, luminous, and beautifully shaped, with a singing quality that remains clear even in soft dynamics. At the same time, the instrument offers more volume than its graceful appearance might suggest, allowing the player to move through many shades of intensity without losing balance or refinement. Its sound feels elegant in the best sense: poised, responsive, and capable of subtle colour changes.
Visually, the guitar reflects the same care for proportion and detail. The rosette, purflings, bindings, and the fine decorative line framing the fingerboard give the instrument a discreet but distinctive presence. Rather than separating sound and aesthetics, Schmidt brings them into the same language: a modern traditional guitar with a cultivated voice, a generous response, and a sense of beauty that remains controlled, musical, and sincere.

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.
