More details about the guitar

About the luthier

Leonardo De Gregorio studied guitar with Gianluca Persichetti and graduated with highest marks from the Conservatorio A. Casella in L’Aquila. He continued his musical training with Bruno Battisti D’Amario, Massimo Delle Cese, and Arturo Tallini at the Arts Academy in Rome, and attended masterclasses with internationally recognised guitarists including Roland Dyens, David Russell, and the Assad brothers. His background as a professional guitarist, soloist, chamber musician, and recording artist has strongly shaped his understanding of the instrument from the player’s perspective.

In 2000, De Gregorio began studying lutherie, looking to historical models such as Torres and Hauser while remaining attentive to contemporary experimentation. This dual perspective, rooted in both performance and construction, led him to focus on qualities particularly valued by guitarists, including response, volume, and ease of execution. In 2016, he received the La Ruota d’Oro award from the Rotary Club of Rome in recognition of his contribution to artistic craftsmanship.

About the guitar

This 2024 Doubletop No. 250 by Leonardo De Gregorio is a double top classical guitar with a cedar soundboard, CITES certified Brazilian rosewood back and sides, French polish, Alessi tuners, a 640 mm scale, and a wenge fretboard. The Brazilian rosewood shows a tight grain and a mesmerising pattern, giving the back and sides a vivid visual depth. The use of wenge, a hard African wood with a striking character and a demanding working nature, gives the fingerboard a distinctive presence and adds to the refined identity of the instrument.

The guitar offers the clarity and projection expected from a modern double top while retaining a finely shaped tonal colour. Its voice is powerful yet transparent, allowing the musical line to remain easy to follow across registers. The cedar soundboard supports warmth and immediacy, while the Brazilian rosewood contributes depth, resonance, and a broad palette of colour. With its slightly shorter scale and direct response, this instrument is designed for expressive control, comfort, and confident concert use.

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.
