Overview
Overview
Fritz Ober was born in Rosenheim in 1955 and learned to play the guitar at an early age. He built his first instruments in the 70’s based on guitar building books. Later he trained with the instrument maker Helmut Buchsteiner and initially focused on the construction of lutes. According to his own statements, the skills he acquired were decisive for his approach to guitar making, which was inspired by old masters such as Antonio de Torres.
The 2017 Fritz Ober guitar represents the zenith of luthiery, a masterpiece preserved in pristine condition that highlights the luthier's unmatched skill and attention to detail. Its back, crafted from CITES certified Brazilian rosewood, not only enhances the guitar's visual allure but also significantly contributes to its sonic depth, offering a tonal richness that is both rare and captivating.

Playing this Fritz Ober guitar is an experience in itself, offering an exceptional balance between different tones and an ease of play that is emblematic of Ober’s design philosophy.

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 -
