Add to Compare2020 Jochen Röthel, Cocobolo/Cedar
German luthier Jochen Röthel wields his chisels like a chef his knives, coaxing a work of functional art that charms the senses with a myriad of flavors and textures, tones. This 2020 Classical is a feast most sumptuous. Gorgeous Cocobolo back and sides with rich reds and dramatic figure pairs with Red Cedar on top, Ebony bindings, and a mosaic rosette of diamonds in Rosewood. Gold Scheller tuners (also of Germany) add a touch of elegance to the headstock; otherwise Röthel leaves the woods to speak for themselves. And what a voice they wield. The trebles have an immediacy and power that draws the ear in, without overpowering the bass or mids. The bottom end is deliciously warm and adds a richness and presence in which we lost track of time each time we sat down to play. Delicious, indeed.

Add to Compare2018 Röthel Concert Classical, CSA Rosewood/Cedar
Our latest Röthel Concert Classical is quick, lively, and a joy to play. This one is still new to the world (built only last year in 2018), and we’re impressed by how much projection and energy it already possesses. CSA Rosewood back and sides with gorgeous chocolate hues, Cedar on top, and a smoothly contoured neck profile that feels full and familiar in the hand. The build quality is fantastic, Jochen makes sure his guitars are as light as possible (this beauty is just over 3lbs!), and that translates into vibrant tone and easy playability. Comes wrapped up in an equally lightweight but protective BAM case.

Add to Compare2013 Jochen Röthel Classical, Tiger Maple/Spruce
Quick response, an energetic and lively tone, and an incredibly lightweight and resonant build make up this 2013 Concert Classical from German luthier Jochen Röthel. Tiger Maple back and sides (with a striking Rosewood center) and Spruce top, and weighing in at a scant 2lbs 12oz, our Röthel plays effortlessly, and with a warm and punchy bass response that really fills out the voice.
French Polished for maximum resonance, with Klause Scheller tuners and a 651mm scale—this 2013 Röthel has an engaging quality that makes it hard to put down, and we love Jochen’s rosette which stands apart from the traditional mosaic crowd with a diamond motif that also makes an appearance on either end of the 12-hole tieblock.Other keywords: classical guitar, fingerstyle, nylon string, nylon-string, classical music, french polish, figured maple
