About the luthier
Stephen Eden is a British luthier based in Bexhill on Sea, UK, whose journey into guitar making began in 2004 with evening classes under Stephen Hill. This early inspiration led to a traditional two-year apprenticeship with Pablo Requena, where Stephen laid the foundations for a lifelong career in lutherie. He set up his first workshop in 2008 and has been refining his own sound and techniques ever since. Stephen’s work is deeply inspired by varied masters, with notable influences from Torres, Santos Hernández, Hermann Hauser, and Daniel Friederich. His close collaboration with Miles Roberts of Kent Guitar Classics provided access to important historic instruments, including original Friederich and Hauser guitars, enriching his understanding of tone and construction. Over the years, he has built guitars for a wide range of internationally renowned performers, and his instruments have found homes across nearly every continent.About the guitar
This 2025 Grand Concert, No. 224, is Stephen’s personal interpretation of the Friederich concept, blending Granadan and Parisian construction influences. The guitar features a spruce soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides, all finished with a fine French polish. The sides are doubled, constructed from two full-thickness layers of wood, resulting in a particularly rigid body structure that supports projection and sustain. The top is built lighter and braced more rigidly, allowing greater responsiveness and clarity while maintaining power. These construction choices culminate in an instrument that offers a bold, singing voice with a Spanish character, enhanced by the control and focus on the fundamental note that are hallmarks of Friederich’s legacy. This is not a replication, but a reinterpretation made with respect and artistic freedom. The Grand Concert model offers a rich tonal spectrum with excellent projection and long sustain. Players will appreciate the control it provides in both lyrical passages and demanding technical repertoire. The guitar responds easily to subtle dynamics, while its structural design ensures stability and tonal focus even at high volume. The doubled sides contribute to its depth and clarity, making it a versatile and expressive instrument suited for both stage and studio. The feel is refined, the craftsmanship outstanding, and the attention to playability evident in every detail, from its setup to its premium Klaus Scheller tuners.

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.
