Kristof Meeus - 2024 Lattice 64 cm

Overview

After a master in Sociology, Kristof Meeus joined the Centre for Musical instrument Building (CMB) in Puurs, Belgium, in 2006. Working in parallel in Walter Verreydt’s workshop, he very quickly gathered solid skills in guitar making. From 2012 on, Kristof started his career as an independent guitar maker. The CMB then recruited him as a teacher in 2016. As did the great painters for centuries, Kristof went for European travel to refine his knowledge and draw inspiration from his predecessor’s work. He, therefore, visited the collection of Gabriele Lodi, Lorenzo Frignani, Bruno Marlat, Antonio Marin, Rafael Moreno and many more, getting a global understanding of both the old masters and the modern classical guitar.

This 2024 concert model stands as an exemplar of lattice-braced guitars, steeped in tradition yet imbued with modern innovation. The meticulously implemented lattice bracing pattern crafted from spruce, is fortified by cedar inlays at every junction, lending the instrument both resilience and suppleness. The guitar’s visual allure, especially its intricately designed rosette, subtly evokes the aesthetics of the renowned Enrique Garcia, captivating the observer’s gaze. Beyond mere visual appeal, the guitar resonates with a harmonious aura, a quality effortlessly mirrored in its sonorous output. Upon strumming, the soundboard reacts instantaneously, releasing a rich, velvety timbre that speaks of depth and sophistication.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • 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.
