About the luthier
Rafal Turkowiak was born in 1966 in Golanice near Leszno, Poland. Coming from a family of craftsmen, with his father being a carpenter and his grandfather a wheelwright, he was introduced early to the world of woodwork and material knowledge. Over more than two decades of guitar making, he has developed a scientific and innovative approach to lutherie. This dedication to research and experimentation led him to create his distinctive “WAVE” structural concept, which enhances the guitar’s resonance and projection.About the guitar
The Opus Prime No. 721 from 2025 represents a continuation of Turkowiak’s forward-looking vision. Following on from his renowned “Queen of Guitars” and earlier Opus Prime models, this instrument demonstrates his ongoing commitment to blending traditional craftsmanship with advanced acoustic engineering. The spruce soundboard works in combination with Bolivian rosewood back and sides to produce a voice that is both powerful and refined. A defining feature of this model is Turkowiak’s “Acoustic Tube” integrated into the neck, which enriches the resonance and supports a full, enveloping sound. The trebles are sweet and lyrical, while the bass registers benefit greatly from the exceptionally low air resonance of D sharp to E. This results in impressive depth and sustain across the lower range and a strong fundamental presence throughout the registers. With a weight of only 1520 grams, the guitar remains highly responsive and dynamic. Visually and ergonomically, the Opus Prime No. 721 embraces a modern aesthetic. Its sleek lacquer finish, carefully profiled neck, and comfortable dimensions reflect Turkowiak’s focus on player-oriented design. This guitar offers a remarkable blend of warmth and playability, making it a strong choice for demanding concert use.

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.
