More details about the guitar

About the luthier

Friederike Linscheid discovered both music and craft at an early age. She began playing the guitar at nine and soon encountered instrument making through lessons that took place in a luthier’s workshop. During a school internship she built her first guitar from a kit and started assisting a violin maker, which confirmed her decision to pursue the craft professionally. After completing her secondary education, she trained as a guitar maker at the instrument making school in Mittenwald. Since 2009 she has worked independently in Berlin, where she established her own workshop.

Her approach combines intuitive craftsmanship with analytical precision. Careful selection of materials, supported by measurement and acoustic evaluation, plays a central role in her work. Guitar building allows her to unite music, design, visual aesthetics, and scientific curiosity. Ongoing exchange with fellow makers, in particular with her workshop partner Adrian Heinzelmann, continues to inform the development of her instruments. She works in Berlin Schöneberg.

About the guitar

This guitar, number 53, was built in 2019 in traditional construction with a spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, finished in French polish. The concept reflects Linscheid’s engagement with twentieth century French influences in bracing and structural design, interpreted through her own workshop practice.

Tonally, the instrument presents a powerful and centered voice with notable warmth and depth. The bass register is full and supportive, while the trebles retain clarity and carrying strength without becoming sharp. The overall balance across the strings is cohesive, allowing inner voices to emerge naturally. A wide palette of tonal colors can be shaped through subtle right hand variation, making the instrument responsive to nuanced articulation.

Projection is strong and forward, yet the sound remains structured and controlled. The guitar combines the substance and sustain associated with traditional concert instruments with a flexibility that supports both lyrical repertoire and more rhythmically defined works. Playability is direct and comfortable, offering the player a stable and reliable platform for advanced performance.

Condition

The guitar is in excellent condition with normal signs of wear consistent with careful use.

  • 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.
