About the luthier

Martin Bretscher is a guitar maker whose work reflects exceptional craftsmanship and a strong commitment to sustainability, fairness and individuality. His path began with an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker which allowed him to cultivate the precision and sensitivity to wood that later shaped his instrument building. In 2003 he began formal training as a plucked instrument maker under Armin Hanika. He soon distinguished himself as a gifted craftsman and received his master certificate in 2007 as well as the Master Craftsman Prize of the Bavarian State Government in recognition of his talent.

In 2020 Bretscher founded Soul Guitars in Bavaria. His workshop embodies his values of environmental responsibility, ethical sourcing and expressive individuality. Each instrument is the result of thoughtful design, carefully selected materials and a deep interest in the musical personality of the guitar. The Flow Cut crossover model is an example of his desire to create instruments that are comfortable, visually distinctive and capable of refined musical expression.

About the guitar

This 2025 Flow Cut crossover model is built with a spruce top and a body of richly figured ziricote. The top is finished with wax which gives a natural tactile surface while the body carries a thin lacquer finish for durability. The scale length of 640 mm together with a nut width of 50 mm provides a comfortable geometry suited to crossover players and to those who prefer slightly reduced dimensions. Rubner tuning machines complete the guitar with reliable and smooth operation. At 1815 grams the instrument has a solid and confident presence in the hands while retaining good responsiveness.

The sound is soft, round and pleasant with an immediate sense of ease. The balance across all strings is even which creates a unified impression from bass to treble. The sustain is notably long and the tone maintains its shape without effort. The guitar has an airy warmth that encourages lyrical playing and reveals colours with small movements of the right hand. Despite the gentle character the projection is clear and the instrument supports expressive phrasing in both melody and accompaniment. The higher positions benefit from the cutaway which offers unhindered access and adds to the overall playability of the guitar. It is a comfortable and elegant instrument that blends visual individuality with a calm and enjoyable musical voice.

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
