"Guitar by Klaus Röder 1971. Klaus was one of the most creative builders of his day; one of the first luthiers to make an impression of a Selmer Maccaferri style guitar which mixed Spanish building techniques. Excellent condition, magnetic pickup system has been removed and output jack has been professionally plugged. RARE!"

"Klaus Röder, born in 1937, completed a music studies in violin and guitar before becoming a guitar maker. From 1967 he worked in the master workshops of Dieter Hense, Reinhold Seiffert, Kurt Hoyer, Ernest Köröskenyi and Dieter Hopf. In 1975 he succesfully finished his studies and became a master guitar builder.
Each of his instruments is lovingly handmade by himself. Klaus Röder uses only solid woods of the best quality. Klaus Röder (often spelled Roeder; born 7 April 1948) is a German musician and music teacher. Born in Stuttgart, Germany, he currently lives and teaches in Langenfeld, Rhineland, Germany. Röder is married and has three children. He studied violin and piano, then began a study of sound engineering in 1968, later switching to part-time studies in composition and guitar at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf, ultimately graduating in 1980 with a diploma in electronic music composition. Interested in experimental and avant garde music he began creating custom-made instruments, also using synthesizers and tape recorders to manipulate recorded sounds. During this period he played guitar (used as a sound trigger device for synthesizer) in a free jazz group, Synthesis, and briefly, during 1974, with the electronic band Kraftwerk. Since 1975 he has worked from his own electronic music studio, latterly using personal computers entirely for composing and creating music. Röder had an interview about his Kraftwerk time on music documentary film "Kraftwerk And The Electronic Revolution" produced by Rob Johnstone, released in 2008."
