Overview

About the luthier

François Leonard has been building classical guitars for nearly two decades in his workshop in Lorient, France. His approach to luthiery is deeply informed by formative experiences with English makers and time spent at the Lakewood workshop in Germany. Mentorship from Dominique Field further shaped his aesthetic and structural sensibilities, which are strongly influenced by the French school of guitar making. Leonard’s instruments reflect a refined balance of clarity, warmth, and precision, inspired by the legacy of French masters such as Daniel Friederich and Dominique Field.

About the guitar

This 2025 François Leonard No. 105 is a visually and sonically unique instrument. Built with a cedar soundboard and flamed maple back and sides, it features a rare tonewood combination that is as striking in appearance as it is distinguished in sound. The guitar delivers a vibrant, overtone-rich voice with excellent sustain and a broad tonal spectrum. Its trebles are especially noteworthy, offering an effortless, singing quality that projects with ease. The instrument responds with moderate attack and impressive volume, making it a rewarding companion for expressive and nuanced playing. The lattice-braced construction, French polish finish, and 640 mm scale enhance both responsiveness and comfort, resulting in a guitar that stands out in every respect.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitar

    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.
