Overview
Overview
Sebastian Stenzel has been making guitars since 1989 when he began his apprenticeship at Gert Esmyol’s workshop. He completed this apprenticeship in 1991 and focused on developing his personal guitar model. In 1996, he finally opened his own workshop in Munich. Shortly afterwards, in 1998, he was awarded the Bavarian Government’s Master’s Prize as part of his Master’s degree. As a “guitar making theory” professor, he has been teaching at the Mozarteum in Salzburg since 2002. Since 2011, he has been working in his workshop in Emmendingen. Following his ideal of sound, he builds guitars that “have sonorous, floating basses, a warm, creamy mid-range and lyrical, singing trebles. The sound should offer the musician all possibilities of sound shaping and dynamics, without being obtrusive.” (Quote: S. Stenzel)
Sebastian Stenzel built this exclusive guitar with astonishing yet inspiring woods. The combination of a dark cedar top with vivid Whitty Pear is genuinely unique, and the result is terrific. This lightweight guitar fills the room with a warm, expressive tone, displaying dense trebles and expansive basses. Its generous volume makes playing just as enjoyable as listening and comfort the guitarist in expressive and dynamic playing. Moreover, all Stenzel guitars have a unique neck and fingerboard shape, yielding considerable benefits for playability and giving the guitarist more freedom to focus on the music. This playful and reliable guitar is one of a kind, and we are thrilled to offer an instrument that stands out by its unusual woods yet meeting the highest standards in terms of sound.

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 -
