About the guitar

This 2010 guitar is Roy Fankhänel’s Meisterstück and reflects the culmination of his experience, skill, and artistic vision. Inspired by the work of Antonio de Torres, the instrument features intricate ornamentation on the rosette and purflings, decorative inlays on the bridge, and a finely carved headstock. A detailed V-joint at the neck-to-headstock connection further highlights Fankhänel’s commitment to time-honored construction methods.

Tonally, the guitar offers a warm, intimate sound with excellent projection when played with intensity. The first string sings effortlessly, and the instrument responds with clarity and elegance across its entire range. This Meisterstück embodies a thoughtful synthesis of Roy Fankhänel’s craftsmanship and artistic sensibility.

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.
