More details about the guitar

About the luthier

Jochen Röthel, born in 1969 in Kitzingen, Bavaria, is a distinguished guitar maker whose path was shaped early on by his upbringing as the son of a cabinetmaker. His passion for the guitar led him to Lakewood Guitars in Giessen, where he trained under Martin Seeliger and formed a lasting connection with fellow luthier Michel Brück. A pivotal moment in his development came in 1992, when he attended a masterclass with José Luis Romanillos in Córdoba, deepening his focus on classical guitar building. After receiving his master’s degree in 1997, Jochen established his workshop in Oldenburg, Germany. His work is informed by extensive restoration experience and an in-depth study of historic instruments by figures such as Manuel Ramírez and Hermann Hauser. By combining traditional Spanish techniques with his own meticulous approach, Jochen Röthel has crafted a distinctive voice in contemporary lutherie—one characterized by clarity, warmth, and refined craftsmanship.

While this one is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitar

    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.
