Description
Matthias “Matteo” Hartig is a German luthier from Glattbach, Bavaria. Just like the famous Robert Bouchet, it was only in his forties that he discovered his true vocation in guitar making. His inspiration is the sound of the instruments of the old masters. Especially Torres, Enrique Garcia, Antonio Emilio Pascual and Richard Jacob “Weißgerber”. Matteo is dedicated to traditional building methods, using almost exclusively hide glue for his construction and shellac for the finish.
The simplicity of the decoration, yet its traditional solid influence, gives it an affirmed aesthetic. With its striking Bearclaw spruce soundboard, fan bracing system, Indian rosewood back and sides, 65 cm scale, and weight of around 1600 grams, it is an excellent allrounder classical guitar for an ambitious player. Furthermore, this instrument has a beautiful lyricism in its voicing, which makes playing this guitar very enjoyable.
