This guitar was finished by Roy Fankhänel in early January 2016. Roy wrote us in a letter that in his opinion this guitar is one of the best he has ever built. The decorative elements like the rosette and the binding of this unique guitar were designed by Roy. The bridge with its 12-hole-drilling fits perfectly into the overall picture of the guitar and is additionally decorated with a beautiful mother of pearl surrounding at its tie block. Eye-catching are also the purfling made of ovangkol, which stress the precious character of the guitar. The insides, except of the top, are made of mahogany. The raised fingerboard facilitates playing in the high registers and improves the sound in this area noticeably. If you look very closely there are tiny, superficial handling marks. The tuning machines are made by Rubner. A Hiscox Pro II hard-shell case is included.

  • 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.
