We flew to Germany to play this guitar. Now it’s home. Andreas Kirschner 2025, cedar doubletop over Indian rosewood.
Built for GuitarCollection.com and back with us in mint condition, this is the first Kirschner we’ve had the honor to represent.
The French polish looks like glass, and the sound is powerful, overtone-rich and sustaining, with deep growling basses, singing trebles and an air resonance at F-sharp.
Playing Sevilla by Albéniz and Tango María by Tárrega.

There is a reason this model is so popular with students, and honestly with plenty of people who are not students.

The Chamber Concert sits one step below Yulong Guo’s Philharmonic and Concert models, and it gets impressively close to them for the money. A cedar doubletop finished in French polish over a beautifully figured set of Indian rosewood, with a tasteful maple center strip running down the back and tapering off toward the heel, an easy 640mm scale, and a raised fingerboard.

Powerful and well rounded, with real bass depth and crisp trebles. It is not a one-of-a-kind boutique guitar and it does not pretend to be, but for the price it comes remarkably close.

We only have a few of these left, and there are Philharmonics on the way in 630, 640, and 650.

1965 Jose Rubio Ex. Julian Bream. ⭐️
In July 1965, in a Greenwich Village workshop, Jose Rubio finished guitar No. 43 and wrote a dedication to Julian Bream beneath the soundboard. You can only read it with an inspection mirror, and it names him el gran maestro.

The timing matters. Bream’s Bouchet had been stolen three years earlier, and Rubio guitars are what filled that gap. He played this one from 1965 into the 1970s, and then it vanished into a private collection for roughly fifty years.

Spruce over Brazilian rosewood, five fan bracing in the Bouchet manner, harmonic bars with two large apertures, and a headstock with that pronounced break angle Rubio liked. Light, responsive, and happiest under a gentle hand.

The basses are deep and grounded in a way you can trace straight back to Bouchet, and the trebles are bright and lyrical and full of colour. Sixty years on, it still offers the colours Bream spent a career chasing.

Full review out now! Hear it in action!!

This one is full of quiet sophistication, and it rewards getting close to it. The rosette is an impossibly fine diamond-pattern mosaic, subtle red and orange purfling picks it up, and the Bois de Rose back and sides are a vibrant rose-colored set with striking dark striping down the center.

Dietmar Heubner builds in Berlin. European spruce over Bois de Rose rosewood, five fan braces plus a diagonal bar you can see through the soundhole, Spanish cedar neck, slightly elevated ebony fingerboard, Scheller tuners.

Here is the thing though. It is not a doubletop and it is not lattice braced, and the projection and responsiveness still rival plenty of modern designs. The voice is open and full, timbre and sustain stay even right across the registers, and the basses growl without ever taking over. Focused, lyrical trebles sitting on top of all of it.

Excellent condition, with only the most minimal signs of handling and even less evidence of play. Available now at GuitarCollection.com.

Three new arrivals this week, and three completely different ideas of what a guitar rooted in the Spanish tradition can be.

As always, our email subscribers see these first. Comment “Yes” for a direct link to our recent arrivals.

🇪🇸 Antonio Marín Montero 2014: The Bouchet model from the Granada master, born there in 1933 and come to the guitar through cabinetmaking. Spruce over Brazilian rosewood with a sapwood center, five fan bracing, Pagos tuners, and a signed Granada label. Spanish music simply sings on this guitar, and at twelve years old it presents far younger than its years.

🇮🇹 Luigi Locatto 2011 “Garcia”, No. 230: One of the most respected Italian luthiers and restorationists working today, and his output is intentionally small, so finding one on the market is genuinely uncommon. Spruce over stunning Brazilian rosewood with a rippled, wavy figure down the center, seven fan bracing on extremely lightweight braces, and a rosette taken straight from Enrique Garcia’s earlier instruments. The first chord tells you everything. Notes fly off the string with surprising speed and clarity, and the whole character is spacious and refined, with a lyrical quality that suits Spanish repertoire beautifully.

🇫🇷 Jeremie Geffroy 2026: Our first guitar from Geffroy, who builds in Brittany in the northwest of France. A radial braced cedar top in the Simon Marty manner over Madagascar rosewood, raised ebony fingerboard, integrated ebony armrest, French polish. Fundamental forward and honest, with a deep bass and a genuinely powerful fourth string, and an air resonance sitting just below F, which is unusually low for a radial braced guitar. The headstock carries an inlay honoring Daniel Friederich.

This one is genuinely configurable. It comes with a removable tornavoz, a soundport with a magnetic cover you can open or close, and a second saddle in Sonoran ironwood, so you can actually change what this guitar does depending on what you want from it.

Stephan Connor No. 529 "Mana" is a spruce and cedar doubletop on Connor's lattice bracing over CSA rosewood, 640mm scale with a 52mm nut and Scheller tuners. The classic Connor rosette in green, tan, and black mosaic, flamed maple bindings with double-line purfling, and a beautifully tapered integrated armrest.

The sound is deep, open, and richly layered, with full concert-level projection. What really stands out is how it refuses to break up. You can lean on it as hard as you like and it just keeps giving. One of the most powerful and harmonically rich guitars Connor has made to date.

Mint, and available now at GuitarCollection.com.

Every luthier at the Roma Guitar Expo turns up with their best guitar of the year. This is the one Roberto de Miranda brought.

Spruce over Ziricote so dramatically figured it looks like spider webbing, with five-fan bracing, unusually large internal blocks, and a raised fingerboard. The neck is a very thin super C, the action is very low, and the Alessi tuners are engraved with flowers. It is a beautiful object before you play a note.

What it does with all that is the good part. Clear, focused trebles over dense, defined basses, and a contrast across the top that is genuinely striking: brassy and full-bodied up at the bridge, then deep and almost cello-like once you move over the fingerboard. Traditional voice, modern power.

It is also the kind of guitar that keeps handing you things the longer you sit with it. There are little gems in here for anyone willing to dig, and for the player who will, it is hard to think of something better.

This one has sold, but reach out if you are looking at this level.

Two 2026 Giussanis from the father-and-son workshop in Italy, and two very different guitars.

Both are 650mm scale with a 52mm nut and Schaller tuners, but that’s about where the similarities end.

The spruce is a lattice top with Macassar ebony, a raised fingerboard, and integrated soundport. Quick response, fantastic clarity, and really centered trebles over firm basses. What stands out most is the separation. Inner voices remain incredibly clear even in dense textures, making this an obvious choice for contrapuntal repertoire.

The cedar is Western red cedar over beautifully figured Honduran rosewood, with these gorgeous warm orange-brown hues. The first string sings effortlessly, chords bloom with complex overtones without losing separation, and the dynamic range is really something special. You can lean into huge crescendos and the guitar just keeps opening up without losing stability.

If you want clarity, separation, and projection, the spruce. If you want bloom, color, and a huge dynamic range, the cedar.

Two very different personalities from the same workshop, and both available now at GuitarCollection.com.
