Oreste Lohs - - Classical guitar - Italy - 2020

One-time opportunity to acquire an excellent concert guitar from the rising luthier Oreste Lohs. Oreste Lohs has been awarded multiple times for his guitars.

"Oreste Lohs is a young luthier from northern Italy with a workshop in Arco near Lake Garda. After his training with Daniele Chiesa he developed a personal building philosophy rooted in tradition, craftsmanship, and a refined understanding of sound. He builds only a few guitars per year and devotes his full attention to each instrument.

Lohs works to a high degree with hand tools and uses hot glue throughout the construction, as he values the direct contact with the wood and the clarity that traditional methods lend to his decisions. The influence of Daniele Chiesa and the Granada school is evident in his work, yet his guitars already show their own identity, shaped by disciplined technique, respect for tradition, and calm artistic intuition."

This guitar features a spruce top and maple sides and back. The wood was felled in the same forest as the instruments of Antonio Stradivari. The guitar offers good playability and a bright, clear tone with rich basses. The string action still has considerable room for adjustment.
