About the luthier
Jochen Röthel was born in 1969 in Kitzingen, Bavaria, and grew up in a cabinetmaker’s household, where he developed an early familiarity with wood and craftsmanship. He trained at Lakewood Guitars in Giessen under Martin Seeliger and formed a lasting professional exchange with Michel Brück. A decisive influence came in 1992 when he attended a masterclass with José Luis Romanillos in Córdoba, which deepened his engagement with the Spanish tradition of guitar making. After receiving his master’s degree in 1997, Röthel opened his own workshop in Oldenburg and later relocated to Sommerhausen. His work is informed by extensive restoration experience and close study of historical instruments by Manuel Ramírez and Hermann Hauser. His guitars reflect a precise and methodical approach within a traditional Spanish construction framework.
About the guitar
This instrument, built in 2022 in traditional construction, features a spruce top and flamed maple back and sides, finished in French polish. The choice of maple shapes the tonal profile decisively. The sound is clear, brilliant, and highly transparent, with strong note separation and a focused projection.
The spruce top provides immediacy and definition, while the maple body supports a bright and articulate character. Trebles emerge with a bell like clarity and refined overtones. The basses are precise and structured rather than expansive, contributing to an overall impression of balance and control. Chords retain their inner structure, and contrapuntal textures remain intelligible even in dense passages.
The dynamic range is wide and easily accessible. The instrument responds sensitively to subtle articulation in softer dynamics, yet it maintains composure and clarity under a stronger attack. Its comparatively light construction enhances responsiveness and creates a sense of openness under the hands. The result is a concert instrument with a lucid tonal aesthetic, well suited to repertoire that benefits from brilliance, transparency, and structural definition.
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.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.
