Daniel Friederich – 1993 No. 705

Description

Please write us if you wish to be notified for the next Daniel Friederich we receive at Siccas Guitars.

Daniel Friederich was born on the sixteenth of January 1932 and regrettably passed away in 2020. Although he had a strong desire to play the guitar, he lacked money. But at the age of 23, Friederich solved this dilemma by building his first guitar himself: a copy of a Simplicio guitar. Daniel’s guitar teacher and excellent guitar maker, Christian Aubin, was a great help to him. After building tools and gaining some experience in guitar making, Daniel Friederich showed his fifteenth guitar to Robert Bouchet. Since then, Robert Bouchet has inspired his work, and Daniel Friederich has personally developed some of R. Bouchet’s ideas throughout his career.

For decades, Daniel Friederich was one of the most important and respected active luthiers in the world. After a long and successful career, he stopped making guitars in 2015 and sold all his tools. Today, he is undoubtedly one of the most respected and admired guitar makers in history.

This guitar number 705, built in 1993, is a wonder of spontaneity, openness, and emotion. This sound masterpiece is in very good condition with only a tiny hairline crack on the lower bout of the soundboard, perfectly stable and hardly noticeable. No description can do justice to the quality of sound and charm of this guitar. Suffice to say that it is impeccable.
