About the luthier
Martin Bretscher is a guitar maker whose work reflects exceptional craftsmanship and a strong commitment to sustainability, fairness and individuality. His path began with an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker which allowed him to cultivate the precision and sensitivity to wood that later shaped his instrument building. In 2003 he began formal training as a plucked instrument maker under Armin Hanika. He soon distinguished himself as a gifted craftsman and received his master certificate in 2007 as well as the Master Craftsman Prize of the Bavarian State Government in recognition of his talent.
In 2020 Bretscher founded Soul Guitars in Bavaria. His workshop embodies his values of environmental responsibility, ethical sourcing and expressive individuality. Each instrument is the result of thoughtful design, carefully selected materials and a deep interest in the musical personality of the guitar. The Flow Cut crossover model is an example of his desire to create instruments that are comfortable, visually distinctive and capable of refined musical expression.
About the guitar
This 2025 Flow Cut crossover model is built with a spruce top and a body of richly figured ziricote. The top is finished with wax which gives a natural tactile surface while the body carries a thin lacquer finish for durability. The scale length of 640 mm together with a nut width of 50 mm provides a comfortable geometry suited to crossover players and to those who prefer slightly reduced dimensions. Rubner tuning machines complete the guitar with reliable and smooth operation. At 1815 grams the instrument has a solid and confident presence in the hands while retaining good responsiveness.
The sound is soft, round and pleasant with an immediate sense of ease. The balance across all strings is even which creates a unified impression from bass to treble. The sustain is notably long and the tone maintains its shape without effort. The guitar has an airy warmth that encourages lyrical playing and reveals colours with small movements of the right hand. Despite the gentle character the projection is clear and the instrument supports expressive phrasing in both melody and accompaniment. The higher positions benefit from the cutaway which offers unhindered access and adds to the overall playability of the guitar. It is a comfortable and elegant instrument that blends visual individuality with a calm and enjoyable musical voice.

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.
