About the luthier
Martin Bretscher is a German guitar maker whose work is characterised by precision craftsmanship, material awareness and a clear ethical approach. His professional background began with an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker, where he developed a refined sensitivity for wood and structural detail. In 2003 he commenced formal training as a plucked instrument maker under Armin Hanika and soon distinguished himself through the consistency and clarity of his work. In 2007 he was awarded both his master certificate and the Master Craftsman Prize of the Bavarian State Government.
In 2020 Bretscher founded Soul Guitars in Bavaria. His workshop reflects values of sustainability, responsible material sourcing and individual expression. Each instrument is conceived as a coherent musical system, in which construction, ergonomics and sound are closely interrelated. His guitars are designed to offer comfort, reliability and a clearly shaped tonal identity rather than sheer spectacle.
About the guitar
The Small Soul Lattice from 2025 is a compact concert guitar with a 630 millimetre scale length, conceived to offer increased playing comfort without compromising acoustic performance. The spruce top is supported by a lattice bracing system and paired with apple wood back and sides. The soundboard is finished with wax, while the body receives a French polish, resulting in a lightweight and responsive construction.
Despite its shorter scale, the guitar delivers a surprisingly powerful and well projected sound. The response is immediate and effortless, with tones emerging freely and evenly across the entire register. The character is round, warm and well centred, supported by a clear and stable sustain. The balance remains consistent, allowing both single line playing and chordal textures to unfold with clarity. The reduced scale contributes to a relaxed left hand feel, making the instrument particularly appealing for players seeking comfort while retaining a full and confident concert 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.Look all products of the collection -
