Martin Bretscher - 2022 Flow-Cut

Martin Bretscher - 2022 Flow-Cut

Overview

Martin Bretscher first completed an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker before starting his second education as a plucked instrument maker with Armin Hanika in 2003 and gaining the master certificate in 2007. In addition, he was awarded the Master Craftsman Prize of the Bavarian State Government in the same year.

Soul Guitars was founded by Martin in 2020 in Bavaria to create and maintain unique, sustainable, and fair guitars, which are the main philosophies of Soul Guitars in the first place.

The flow cut model is a cutaway classical guitar that was developed for easy fingering and improved playability in the high registers. This guitar's volume and tonal qualities are also ideal for demanding improvisations and jazz pieces. This beautiful instrument features a unique selection of woods: a beautiful spruce soundboard combined with smoked oak back and sides. Furthermore, the fingerboard has a 12" radius, which makes this instrument exceptionally comfortable to play for the left hand. This brand-new guitar also features a Shadow SH4020 pickup system.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitar

    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.
