Jochen Röthel is a master guitar builder from Kitzingen, Germany. A pupil of both Michael Brück and later José Romanillos, Rothel has carved a name for himself as one of the best guitar builders of his generation.
He gained his masters in luthiery from Staatliche Geigenbauschule Mittenwald before setting up as an independent luthier in 1997 at his Oldenburg workshop, where he has been based ever since.
This guitar is highly sensitive and extremely dynamic making it a superbly expressive guitar of the very highest order; a thoroughbred concert guitar. The voice is eloquent and transparent with a delightfully majestic character.
Various light signs of use as you might expect (see photos), but a well cared for guitar, having used bridge beads since the initial string change (optional/removable) to protect the bridge plus continuous use of humidipaks whilst in the case (included).
Brand new, Jochen Rothel guitars retail for around £12,500, so this relatively young guitar represents excellent value for money for any guitarist who needs a truly top level instrument.
Original price was: £8,000.00.£7,250.00Current price is: £7,250.00.

“I taught Ed Peczek (Director of Classical Guitar Academy) whilst he was a student at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He is a fine musician and guitarist with a keen musical insight. Ed is a young man of real integrity who will offer unbiased advice on purchasing a quality instrument. I can think of no one better equipped to direct a centre such as Classical Guitar Academy.”

“Just received an Amalio Burguet 2M by mail. Arrived, beautifully packed, in superb condition. After tuning had my first acquaintance with it. Lovely tone which I am sure will improve with playing time. Turned the instrument over in my hands for close inspection. First-rate construction under superb high-gloss finish. Thanks for swift supply & responses via email.”

“Been playing guitar since I was 15 (am now 59), bought my first classical guitar in 1985 and recently decided I needed a better one. After some discussion with Ed at the Classical Guitar Academy about all things guitaristic (Ed is very knowledgeable and always enthusiastic) I tried a few of the guitars Ed had in stock. I knew what I was looking for and Ed understood what I was looking for and I have ended up with a superb Antonio Sanchez guitar. I had also tried a few guitars in a few of the mainstream shops but did not get anything like the help and advice I got from Ed – he understands what it’s all about!”
