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.
