Hopf Filigrana 1980s Classical Guitar – Master-Built by Dieter Hopf in Germany

The Hopf Filigrana 1980s Classical Guitar is an exceptional example of German craftsmanship and tonal artistry. Built by master luthier Dieter Hopf, this instrument represents centuries of tradition and innovation in the Hopf family, whose instrument-making history dates back to 1669.

By the time this Filigrana model was created in the early 1980s, Dieter Hopf had already earned international acclaim for his pursuit of perfection in classical guitar construction. Combining over 40 years of experience and two unique patents — the free-swinging soundboard system and the Rosettensteg bridge design — he developed guitars of unparalleled resonance, balance, and projection.

This particular Hopf Filigrana 1980s Classical Guitar showcases the refined aesthetics and sound that define Hopf instruments. Crafted with a cedar top and rosewood back and sides, it delivers a powerful, room-filling tone with exceptional sustain and a rich, mystical character. The sound quality of this guitar is impressive — offering a deep, expressive voice suited for both concert performance and professional studio recording.
