He quickly distinguished himself as a talented and dedicated student, earning his master's certificate in 2007.

The brand-new Martin Bretscher guitar is a stunningly beautiful and expertly crafted instrument designed for advanced musicians seeking superior sound and playability. The flow cut model is a cutaway classical guitar, specially developed to allow for easy fingering and improved playability in the high registers, making it an ideal choice for demanding improvisations and jazz pieces. Crafted from a unique selection of woods, this guitar boasts a lattice-braced spruce soundboard that produces a rich, warm, and resonant tone. The back and sides are made from beautiful yew, which not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the guitar but also contributes to its tonal qualities. One of the standout features of this guitar is its fingerboard, which has a 12″ radius. This unique design provides exceptional comfort when playing with the left hand, making it easier to reach high notes and play complex chord progressions. In addition to its superior sound and playability, this beautiful instrument also comes equipped with a Fishman AG094 passive piezo pickup system. This system captures and amplifies the guitar's natural acoustic sound, making it perfect for live performances or recording sessions. The Martin Bretscher guitar is versatile for various musical genres and performance settings with this advanced pickup system.

While this guitar 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.
