About the luthier
Boguslaw Teryks, born in Wrocław and based in Mainz since 1984, has been building guitars since 1982. His deep affinity for music and sound was shaped by his early environment and further refined through mentorships with luthiers such as Manfred Pletz and Gernot Wagner. Teryks’s work is characterized by a combination of philosophical sensitivity, technical expertise, and a passion for continuous innovation. He was among the earliest European luthiers to adopt double-top technology, becoming one of the few builders worldwide—alongside Wagner and Dammann—working in this advanced construction method in its formative years. His guitars reflect an artistic search for expressive depth, clarity, and dynamic range, earning accolades at major competitions including multiple Grand Prix at the International Guitar Making Competition in Gdańsk. His instruments are used by prominent musicians such as Marcin Dylla, Łukasz Kuropaczewski, and Jakob Bangsø, and are celebrated for their tonal color, projection, and refined response.About the guitar
This 2019 seven-string concert guitar by Boguslaw Teryks features a modern double-top construction with a Nomex core, delivering exceptional projection, sustain, and responsiveness. The spruce outer layer and ziricote back and sides produce a clear and harmonically rich tone, supported by structural lightness and an impressively broad dynamic spectrum. Tonally, the guitar combines warmth and focus with a remarkably natural character—unlike many double-tops, this instrument avoids artificial compression and remains organic and open in sound. The trebles are lyrical and carry effortlessly, while the basses are deep and articulate, producing a piano-like clarity. It responds quickly to touch and offers a wide palette of tonal colors, accommodating subtle nuance as well as powerful projection. The extended fingerboard permits a full two-octave range on the first string, and the ergonomically shaped neck, paired with a comfortable armrest, makes this seven-string guitar especially accessible to players transitioning from six-string models. Tuned with Klaus Scheller machines and strung with Knobloch EDC 34.0 strings, this is a top-tier performance instrument offering both precision and expressivity. It is in excellent condition.Condition

Even with careful use, a classical guitar may gradually change in appearance or respond to unstable storage conditions. Have a close look at your guitar regularly and be attentif to changes. If your instrument is suffering from its environement, it will let you know.
Protect Your Guitar: Handle with Care
Be mindful when touching your instrument with greasy or unwashed hands: any skin contact is a small attack on the varnish. Of course, a guitar is made to be played, but taking a few precautions helps preserve its beauty: wash your hands before playing, wear long sleeves, and avoid unnecessary direct skin contact with the body of the instrument.
Pro tip: Avoid playing with a button-up shirt, heavy jewelry, or a belt, as these can scratch the guitar. Also, make sure your guitar case is free of any objects that could damage the instrument during storage.
String care
A good habit to adopt is wiping down your strings briefly after each playing session. This small action significantly extends their lifespan and helps maintain a consistent, comfortable feel under your fingers.
Most importantly, clean strings are essential for keeping your instrument in tune. Corrosion, sweat, and dust can affect the uniformity of the strings and interfere with accurate tuning across the entire fingerboard.
Pro tip: If you're having trouble getting your guitar in tune, it might be time to change the strings. A useful test is to compare the pitch of the 12th fret harmonic with the fretted note at the 12th fret; if there's an unusually large gap between them, your strings may have lost their integrity and should be replaced.
Keep Your Shellac Finish Shining!
Got a guitar with a shellac (French polish) finish? Here's a simple trick: Take a clean microfiber cloth and gently breathe on the surface to create a light mist. Then, softly rub to remove fingerprints, sweat, and grease. That’s usually all it takes to keep it looking great, no products needed!
Pro tip: Every few years, treat your guitar to a check-up with a luthier to keep it in top shape.
Storing Your Guitar: Climate Matters
Your guitar can safely stay outside its case, as long as the surrounding environment maintains 42–55% humidity and a temperature between 18–25°C.
Keep in mind that humidity levels can still fluctuate inside the case, especially during seasonal changes.
- Too much humidity may cause overtightened strings and a dull tone.
- Too little humidity can lead to a bulging top, string buzz, or even cracks.
Avoid placing your guitar near radiators, air conditioners, or windows with direct sunlight.
Pro tip: Always close your guitar case while playing. This helps preserve a stable microclimate inside the case, so your instrument is protected the moment you put it back in.
