Overview

The 2025 guitar by Marco Lijoi is a refined concert instrument that blends traditional Spanish construction with innovative materials and design. Its spruce soundboard employs a seven-fan bracing system made of lightweight balsa reinforced with carbon fibre, with finely grooved attachment areas that allow for a thinner, more responsive top while maintaining strength. This results in remarkable sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and tonal richness. The celestial-inspired rosette evokes the Milky Way, highlighting Lijoi’s artistic vision. Finished with a carefully applied water-based lacquer for durability and resonance, and equipped with Der Jung tuners and Knobloch strings, this guitar embodies both scientific ingenuity and poetic craftsmanship.

About the luthier

Marco Lijoi is an Italian luthier based in Savigliano, in the province of Cuneo. He began playing the guitar at the age of four, and over time, his passion for woodworking surpassed his early academic interest in physics. After graduating from high school, the decision to pursue guitar making came naturally. Marco enrolled at the prestigious Civica Scuola di Liuteria in Milan, where he completed four years of intensive study and received the title of Master Luthier. Today, Marco builds high-quality instruments in his workshop in Savigliano, drawing inspiration from nature – particularly the mountains and the sky. His guitars reflect a blend of traditional technique, scientific curiosity, and deep artistic sensitivity.

About the guitar

Marco Lijoi’s latest instrument is a personal and refined project, shaped by his experience as a classical guitarist and his passion for craftsmanship, science, and astronomy. The soundboard is built using a traditional seven-fan bracing system, but with an innovative twist: the fan bracing struts are made of lightweight balsa wood and reinforced with a thin layer of carbon fibre. Additionally, the surface of the soundboard is finely grooved in the areas where the braces are attached, which allows for a thinner top overall while preserving strength and stability. The result is an exceptionally responsive guitar, capable of delivering rich dynamics and tonal subtlety. The rosette design is inspired by the Milky Way and celestial imagery, which reflects Marco’s long-standing fascination with the stars and the sky. The finish is a modern water-based lacquer, specially chosen for its environmental compatibility, minimal thickness, and excellent resistance to wear. Marco applies it with great care in his own workshop to preserve the natural vibration and resonance of the wood. Tuners are by Der Jung, and the instrument is strung with Knobloch EDC 34.0 strings.

While this one 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.

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.
