About the luthier

Stephan Connor is one of the most sought after luthiers in the US. His guitars are regularly played in concerts around the world by first class artists such as the Assad brothers, Eliot Fisk, Angel Romero, the Amadeus Guitar Duo and many more. Stephan has specialized in building high quality concert classical guitars since 1994. He uses the absolute finest materials possible in order to build instruments with robust projection while maintaining a beautiful, versatile voice. The aesthetic of his guitars is rooted in the Spanish tradition. However, his bracing patterns and other elements that control the sound have evolved and are distinctly his own.

About the guitar

This Stephan Connor Lattice 64 cm from 2024, number 507, is a modern concert classical guitar with a spruce top and back and sides made of rare, dense live oak. The maker gave this instrument the name Iron Sides because of the particularly dense live oak used for the back and sides. The matte lacquer finish keeps the appearance clear and understated, allowing the unusual wood to remain central to the guitar’s identity.

The voice is exceptionally expansive, with a sound that fills the room with ease while remaining round, supported and beautifully controlled. Its lattice construction gives the guitar immediate response and impressive carrying power, yet the sound does not lose warmth or substance. The low end is firm and well supported, the dynamic range is convincing, and even quiet playing retains a solid tonal core. The first string has a singing quality that gives melodic lines a natural presence, while the overall balance remains intact across the registers.

With its 640 mm scale, 50 mm nut width and one of the most comfortable elevated fingerboard constructions, this Connor offers a particularly inviting playing experience. It combines power with refinement, projection with roundness and modern concert capability with a tactile sense of ease, making it a compelling instrument for players who need a large sound without sacrificing colour, control or comfort.

Condition

The guitar is in excellent condition with minimal wear marks. There is a small ding behind the bridge from the first string, with wear otherwise consistent with the most careful use. The instrument remains in original condition.

  • 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.

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.
