Matthias Dammann - 1992 Cedar Solidtop No. 52 64,5 cm

Overview

Matthias Dammann is an extraordinary German luthier, precursor, and pioneer of double-top guitars. He always led a lot of research, studying the sound of guitars from the past, such as Antonio de Torres’ ones, and patenting his innovations. He brought many positive changes in the guitar conception of the end of the twentieth century. His wooden “sandwich double-tops” and later his Nomex double-tops are incredibly light. They give the guitar an immediate response, outstanding volume, and blissful playability. The guitarists’ reaction to Matthias Dammann’s guitars was immediate, and performers such as David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, the Beijin Guitar Duo, etc., have been playing and recording on them for a long time.

The 1992 Matthias Dammann Solid Top guitar is a remarkable example of the craftsmanship and expertise that this renowned luthier is known for. While Matthias Dammann has gained fame for his groundbreaking work with double-top guitars, his earlier solid-top creations are equally deserving of admiration and praise. This specific 1992 cedar solid top instrument stands as a testament to the skill and precision that Dammann brought to his work. This guitar is truly a masterpiece with its even tonality, enchanting charm, impressive volume, and outstanding playability. The soundboard has been meticulously tuned, with every inch reflecting Dammann's deep knowledge and passion for the craft. As a pre-loved instrument, it bears some playing marks that are a testament to its history and the joy it has brought to its previous owners. Nevertheless, the guitar remains in good condition, with a professionally refreshed French polish that enhances its overall appearance. The back and sides of the guitar are constructed from Wenge wood, a visually striking addition that complements the instrument's aesthetics. The unique combination of materials and craftsmanship makes this guitar an exceptional musical instrument and a work of art. The 1992 Matthias Dammann Solid Top guitar is a rare and highly sought-after instrument, appealing to collectors and musicians alike. Its incredible sound, playability, and stunning design make it a true gem among the world of guitars, showcasing the incredible talents of a master luthier at the beginning of his illustrious career.

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.
