Overview

Every single one of Philipp’s guitars is the product of a long, intensive process. He uses all his knowledge and experience to produce high quality instruments. Therefore, he never builds more than two guitars at the same time, so that he can concentrate on every detail. Since the sound of the instrument depends greatly on the type of material that are used, he uses only the best quality tone woods and no prefabricated parts at all. A guitar is not finished until it completely satisfies his demands for a clear and open sound with full, round basses, velvety facials, clear, brilliant trebles, modulated timbre, a singing, sustained tone and responsiveness. Only when all these criteria are met he is satisfied with the guitar. The results are melodious, unique pieces and professional instruments for guitarists. His work is based on the Spanish Granada tradition of guitar making using time-tested techniques. The methods incorporate an analysis of historic guitars and modern insights into acoustic processes and the wishes of today’s musicians. Whilst he is very traditional, he is also open to experiments. He tries to combine traditional instrument building skills with modern methods in order to develop the sound of the guitar for the future. This guitar has three sound holes, two near the sides on the soundboard and one at the end of the fretboard. It has a double-soundboard that is made of cedar. Back and sides are made of Indian Rosewood.
“Philip Neumann is a stroke of luck for the guitar scene. He is not only one of the most innovative guitar makers of our time whose results are electrifying – but he is also to great extent focused on the art of guitar making of long gone periods and the lovingly, conscientious restoration of old, exclusive master instruments based on up-to-date scientific methods. As I have already said: a stroke of luck!” Sigi Schwab.

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.
