About the luthiers
Gabriel Fleta Jr., grandson of the legendary Ignacio Fleta and son of Gabriel Fleta Sr., is today the custodian of one of Spain’s most celebrated luthier legacies. Born into the Barcelona workshop where his grandfather revolutionized the classical guitar with cedar tops, Gabriel Jr. began helping at age 13 and crafted his first guitar at 17. Trained as both a craftsman and guitarist, he now builds a handful of bespoke instruments each year, renowned for their powerful, expressive sound and distinctive design, with a waiting list stretching nearly a decade. Working from the family’s workshop in Hostafrancs, he uses wood seasoned for decades and lets each guitar “mature” before delivery, treating every instrument as a unique creation. While he occasionally restores older Fleta guitars, his focus remains on carrying forward the artistry, discipline, and emotional depth that have defined three generations of the Fleta name.About the guitar
This 2018 guitar by Ignacio Fleta is a truly exceptional and rare instrument that embodies the finest traditions of one of the most legendary Spanish guitar makers. Built in the iconic Fleta workshop in Barcelona, this guitar reflects the pinnacle of luthier craftsmanship, tone, and power for which Ignacio Fleta has long been revered. The trebles are full of character and presence—warm, dark, and rounded, with a sweet, lyrical voice that responds beautifully to left-hand vibrato. Each note carries a singing quality that invites deep musical expression. The bass register is powerful and rich, yet well-balanced, giving the entire instrument a broad tonal spectrum and a remarkable depth. In terms of projection and volume, the guitar is a powerhouse. It delivers concert-level dynamics, making it ideal for solo recitals or ensemble settings. The guitar speaks with authority in every setting and offers a commanding yet nuanced sound.Condition
This guitar is in excellent condition and has been carefully preserved. It shows only minimal signs of previous use and remains structurally and acoustically pristine.

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.
