Stephen Eden - 2024 "Daniel Friederich - 1980" No. 209

Overview

Stephen got his first acoustic guitar at 18, after having been passionately into music for many years. He attended evening classes by Master Luthier Stephen Hill in 2004, which inspired him into guitar making. Soon after, Stephen apprenticed at the workshop of Pablo Requena for two years, where he received a great foundation of knowledge and skills that he continues to put to use today. Stephen finally set up his first workshop in 2008. He has enjoyed building guitars for many professional guitarists, such as Paul Gregory, Juan Martin, Peter Stuart, Sean Shibe, Ian Watt, Andrew Gough, Allan Neave, Gaëlle Solall, Pavel Ralev, Bridget Mermikides, and Mark Eden.

This 2024 guitar is a meticulously crafted exact replica of the revered 1980 Daniel Friederich model, mirroring every detail of its visual and structural design. The instrument features a cedar soundboard paired with breathtaking Indian rosewood for the back and sides, embodying the aesthetic elegance and acoustic richness of the original. Unique to this model is Friederich’s distinctive 7 fan bracing system, made from cedar rather than the more commonly used spruce, which enhances the guitar's structural integrity without adding excessive weight. This choice in construction significantly contributes to the guitar's resonant tone and volume capabilities. The trebles of this guitar are complex and lyrical, harmoniously blending with the deep, velvety basses to produce a sound that is both rich and nuanced, making it an exceptional choice for concert performers seeking an instrument capable of delivering a broad dynamic range and expressive sound fidelity.

  • Classical Guitar

    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.
