About the luthier
Kim Lissarrague is a respected Australian luthier whose work is strongly linked to the “Australian school” of classical guitar building. He began making guitars at the age of thirteen and is now based in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Producing a limited number of instruments each year, he has developed a signature style centred on lattice-braced soundboards and arched backs. His guitars are renowned for their extraordinary projection, clarity and sustain, crafted for musicians who require power, presence and tonal refinement in a modern concert setting.
About the guitar
Built in 2010, No. 125 is a commanding concert instrument that exemplifies Lissarrague’s approach. The thin and responsive cedar top is matched with rigid ziricote back and sides that add density and projection. The result is a dark, rounded tone with impressive sustain and a wide dynamic envelope. Despite its power, the guitar retains subtlety and control, responding well to both light and forceful playing styles.
The soundboard is finished with a light- matte wax coating, preserving the cedar’s natural resonance, while the body is protected by a polyurethane lacquer. Gilbert tuners, with their low-friction mechanism, provide smooth tuning without the need for oil or grease. This is a true example of the Australian lattice concept: bold, efficient, and refined, offering clarity, balance and tremendous projection without losing warmth or personality.

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.
