About the luthier
Luciano Lovadina is an Italian luthier whose career in guitar‑making began in 1980, after initial training under violin‑maker Mario Novelli and subsequent work with Franco Simeoni, one of Italy’s most respected makers of bowed instruments. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} He further deepened his craft through a study course in France under Stephen Murphy. Lovadina’s instruments are the result of decades of work, where the selection of raw materials, the form of the instrument and the tonal outcome are all treated with equal seriousness. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
About the guitar
Built in 2019, this traditionally‑constructed concert guitar by Lovadina features a spruce top and back and sides of flamed maple. The finish is a classic French polish that subtly accentuates the wood’s natural figure. With a scale of 650 mm and a nut width of 52 mm, the instrument offers a comfortable and authoritative feel under the fingers. The body weight of approximately 1,730 grams signals a build that favours substance and depth.
Tonally, the guitar delivers a long sustain and a sound rich in overtones and subtle colour. The bass register has presence and fullness, while the upper voices remain clear and articulate with a slightly nasal edge—qualities often found in romantic‑style instruments. The air‑body resonance around A/A♯ gives the entire voice a poised but bold character. Playability is smooth and engaging, making this guitar suitable for both refined recital work and expressive solo performance.
Condition
The instrument is in excellent condition with no cracks or repairs, showing only minimal, normal playing wear. It remains structurally sound and visually well‑preserved.

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.
