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 2026 Leonardo De Gregorio double top combines a cedar soundboard with wenge back and sides, creating a modern concert instrument with a clear, responsive, and naturally coloured voice. Its sound is more luminous than dark, speaking quickly and freely while keeping a warm character. The instrument has the projection and response expected from a double top, yet it remains close to the expressive world of the traditional guitar: open, articulate, and carefully separated in its voices.
The strength of this guitar lies in its clarity. Each note can be followed easily, even within fuller textures, giving polyphonic passages a clean architectural shape. The basses are deep and present, adding weight and resonance without covering the upper register, while the trebles remain bright, focused, and singing. This balance between depth and transparency gives the instrument a refined concert character, where projection is supported by definition rather than by force alone.
De Gregorio’s background as a guitarist is especially apparent in the way the instrument supports the player. The response is fast, the voice releases easily, and the elevated fingerboard belongs naturally to its modern playing concept without disturbing the guitar’s tonal identity. It is a double top for players who want power, responsiveness, and ease, but who still value the colour, clarity, and human warmth of a more traditional sound.

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.
