About the guitar
This 1954 guitar is a masterpiece of meticulous craftsmanship and elegant design. Weissgerber’s attention to detail shines through in every element of the instrument. The intricately carved headstock, decorated on both sides, the refined headstock V-joint, and the slightly arched neck profile demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to precision and artistry. These features are complemented by an ornamented bridge and an oval-shaped soundhole, further enhancing the guitar’s distinctive character. The original Rubner tuners complete the instrument’s authentic appeal.
A standout feature of this guitar is its spruce top, which includes the peculiar *“Hohlkehle”* (fluting). This innovation, inspired by bowed instrument construction, involves carving the top, resulting in thinner edges, drawing influence from Antonio de Torres’s design. Paired with the rare Brazilian tulipwood back and sides, this construction yields a sound that is rich, balanced, and full of nuance. The tone resonates with warmth and clarity across all registers, offering dynamic expressiveness and an impressive tonal range that highlights Weissgerber’s acoustic expertise.
This guitar, owned by the maker himself, is exceptionally well-preserved, almost in mint condition and with minimal wear. It not only provides an outstanding playing experience but also stands as a timeless testament to the enduring legacy of Richard Jacob Weissgerber’s craftsmanship.

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.Look all products of the collection -
