"Luca Waldner's guitars represent one of the highest artistic achievements in the world of guitar making in our day. Within the whole range of contemporary makers of all styles, concepts and tendencies, Waldner's guitars distinguish themselves by their marriage of a real and conscious rediscovery of the sensibilities and skills of the great guitar makers of the past (Torres, above all, who has been the subject of in-depth study by Waldner) and the restlessness of the creative artist who is very much a man of his own times. They are instruments which, be it in the choice of shape, materials or dimensions, have a unique tendency towards sound, instruments whose raison d'ĂȘtre, beyond purely hedonistic guitaristic concerns, is to serve the creativity of the performer by those expressive means that music inspires them to, to be able to move forward through the complex drama that is the music." - Stefano Grondona
