{"product_id":"andreas-kirschner-2020-solid-top","title":"Andreas Kirschner - 2020 Solid Top","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAndreas Kirschner is among the most respected contemporary guitar makers in Germany. For many years, he has approached the concert guitar as a working musical instrument, refining his ideas through close exchange with professional players and their practical demands on stage and in the studio. Although he is particularly associated with double top construction, his work is guided more broadly by clarity, tonal development, playability, and consistency. He shares the workshop with his wife, Solveig Kirschner, a guitar maker and musicologist whose engagement with historical instruments adds a further dimension of research and musical perspective to their work.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eBuilt in 2020, this Andreas Kirschner brings together the immediacy often associated with his double top guitars and the open definition of a traditional spruce instrument. The response is exceptionally quick, with considerable volume available from very little effort, yet the sound remains clearly organised. This is especially apparent in the trebles, where individual notes retain a distinct centre and can be followed cleanly through sustained lines rather than dissolving into the surrounding resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe basses extend with an airy depth that gives the instrument breadth without making the lower register feel heavy, while the overall balance remains direct and controlled across the strings. An elevated fingerboard reflects Kirschner’s practical attention to the player, and the guitar feels correspondingly comfortable and accessible in the upper register. With its spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, it is a convincing example of how Kirschner translates some of the speed and projection of his modern instruments into a more traditional solid-top format.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe guitar is in excellent condition, with no cracks or repairs. It shows normal signs of wear consistent with careful use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54592832864589,"sku":"KS17977","price":11990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/andreas-kirschner-2020-solid-top-10.jpg?v=1787814390","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/andreas-kirschner-2020-solid-top","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
