Francois Regis Leonard - 2020 „Premium“
Overview
Overview
The Premium models are unique instruments that are developed in cooperation with a selection of exceptional luthiers. These models are exclusively available at Siccas Guitars and are built with the finest Cites-certified Brazilian rosewood of premium quality. Due to its outstanding physical and tonal characteristics, this wood has been used in guitar building since the 19th century and is regarded as the most valuable and aesthetically appealing tone wood in guitar building.
François Leonard has been building classical guitars for almost 20 years now and lives and works in his workshop in Lorient, France. He had the opportunity to learn from many guitar builders in England and also worked in the Lakewood workshop in Germany. He received support from Dominique Field as an occasional mentor, and so it is no surprise that the aesthetics and structural concept of his guitars are strongly influenced by French masters such as Daniel Friederich and Dominique Field.
This remarkable guitar, built by Francois Régis Leonard, is a premium edition made of stunning Rio rosewood, which has become rare these days and is of course CITES certified. The sound of this instrument has all the characteristics of F.R. Leonard's guitars, but you can also recognize an extraordinary charm and elegance. The tone is round and mellow with a great richness. It is a very balanced guitar with a remarkable sustain and excellent playing comfort. As always, Francois offers us a powerful instrument whose sound carries far and with precision. It is a guitar that accompanies the player and offers a wide dynamic range. This instrument, therefore, meets all the criteria of a great concert guitar.
This distinctive guitar is both an exceptional concert instrument and a wonderful work of art.

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 -
