Romantic Guitars

Romantic guitars offer a distinctly different voice from the modern classical guitar, rooted in the design traditions of the early 19th century. Inspired by historic Lacote and Stauffer instruments, the Romantic guitars in this collection reflect an era when clarity, immediacy, and expressive nuance were paramount. Smaller bodies, lighter construction, and ladder-braced tops give these guitars a focused, open tonal palette that responds quickly to the player’s touch. Rather than projecting for large concert halls, Romantic guitars were conceived for intimate musical settings, where subtle articulation and tonal color take precedence over sheer volume.
