Kristof Meeus - 2025 No.38 64 cm
About the luthier
After completing a Master in Sociology, Kristof Meeus joined the Centre for Musical Instrument Building (CMB) in Puurs, Belgium, in 2006. Alongside his studies, he trained in the workshop of Walter Verreydt, where he developed a strong foundation in guitar making. He has worked independently since 2012 and returned to CMB as a teacher in 2016. Meeus further broadened his understanding through extensive travel, studying historical instruments and engaging with influential European makers including Gabriele Lodi, Lorenzo Frignani, Bruno Marlat, Antonio Marín, and Rafael Moreno. These encounters shaped a nuanced perspective on both historical guitar making and contemporary classical construction.
About the guitar
This 2025 guitar by Kristof Meeus represents a confident and mature interpretation of traditional construction. The spruce soundboard paired with Indian rosewood back and sides produces a voice that is open, direct, and finely controlled. One of the defining characteristics of the instrument is the inviting interplay between basses and trebles. The bass register develops with depth and authority, while the trebles remain clear and present, allowing both to unfold without compromise. Even in very soft dynamics, the guitar retains a complete tonal spectrum, offering substance and clarity in pianissimo playing. As volume increases, the instrument responds with ease and stability, maintaining balance rather than pushing individual registers forward. The result is a guitar that supports expressive phrasing, nuanced articulation, and a natural musical flow across the fingerboard.
