About the luthier

Lisa Weinzierl is one of the most gifted luthiers of the new generation. After completing her training in Mittenwald at the prestigious instrument-making school, she apprenticed with renowned makers such as Gernot Wagner, Andreas Kirschner, Gert Esmyol, Peter Ziegler, Christopher Schuetz, and Leo Sprenger. Her craftsmanship was recognized with a gold medal and the master craftsman award from the Bavarian state government. Today, she works for W.E. Hill & Sons in London under the guidance of Stefan-Peter Greiner and Robert Brewer Young, building her own guitars within this dynamic environment.

Each of her guitars reflects deep technical refinement and rare artistic sensibility. Only a few instruments leave her bench each year, ensuring that every detail receives utmost attention. Her guitars combine visual elegance and exceptional playability, shaped by elevated fingerboards, traditional bracing, and the distinctive German “V” neck joint — all finished with a perfect French polish and fitted with elite Klaus Scheller tuners.

About the guitar

This 2025 cedar-top concert guitar by Lisa Weinzierl combines visual purity with outstanding tonal balance. It is a traditionally built instrument that achieves the power, volume, and coloristic depth often reserved for more modern constructions. The air resonance lies between F♯ and G, supporting a generous, sonorous tone. Its response is both fast and rounded, with a wide dynamic range and even projection across the full register. The basses are full and supportive, the trebles clear and refined, and the midrange richly blended — producing a voice that is lyrical without ever sounding forced.

A remarkable feature of this instrument is its effortless control. The guitar seems to breathe with the player, offering stability and comfort under the hands, and a neck shape that invites nuanced phrasing and agile movement. Every note emerges smoothly, without resistance, making expressive playing feel completely natural.

The aesthetic is minimalist yet detailed, with an immaculate transparent French polish that enhances the natural character of the woods. At just 1,440 grams, it is lightweight but structurally confident. From private studio to concert hall, this guitar represents the full potential of traditionally built instruments at the highest level of modern lutherie.
