Handcrafted classical guitar

Custom instruments

Custom
instruments.

Not a menu of pre-packaged options, but a project built around the hands, ears and needs of the person who will play it.

The heart of my work

Classical guitars

Where tradition, personal research and construction precision meet.

Liuteria Marcellan classical guitars are built from selected materials, careful intonation control, attention to ergonomics and meticulous work on the instrument’s response. Every detail, from bracing to finish, is chosen around the musician.

Concert Model

Rich, clear and projecting sound; a bracing system refined over time, excellent balance across the fingerboard and a traditional shellac finish.

Studio Model

Warm, enveloping and already mature sound. Traditional design, understated aesthetics and a natural satin oil finish.

Personal project

Scale length, nut width, neck profile, woods, bracing, rosette, bindings, tuners and finish are defined together.

Beyond classical

Acoustics, electrics,
basses and ukuleles.

Made exclusively to order when the project genuinely calls for custom work. The goal is not to copy what already exists, but to solve precise requirements for sound, comfort, balance, electronics and aesthetics.

Acoustic

Body shape, scale, woods, dynamic response, cutaway, amplification and comfort designed around the repertoire.

Electric

Ergonomics, fret access, neck profile, bridge, pickups, wiring and weight distribution designed as one system.

Basses

Scale, string count, balance, spacing, electronics and neck response defined around the way you actually play.

Ukulele

Compact instruments, not simplified ones: projection, intonation, materials and aesthetics receive the same rigour.

Personal details

Inlays, finishes, electronic configurations, hardware and non-standard solutions—when they make sense for the project.

One unique instrument

Every instrument is built to order and followed directly by Andrea, from the first conversation to delivery.

The project can start anywhere

It does not matter where you are.

We define every detail together through video calls, photographs, measurements and precise references. Once the project is clear, I build and test the instrument in the workshop, then ship it directly to your address, carefully packed and fully set up.
