Andreas Kirschner - 2023 Doubletop

Andreas Kirschner - 2023 Doubletop

Overview

Andreas Kirschner is one of the most outstanding and sought-after German. His philosophy as a guitar maker focuses on the sound quality and sound optimization of the classical guitar. Therefore, for many years he has been working closely with professional guitarists to create instruments that meet the artists' expectations and desires. His guitars are characterized by high-quality craftsmanship, a powerful and rich tone, and notably easy playability.
Andreas Kirschner's guitars are easily recognizable by their beautiful red rosette, the authentic shade of the spruce top, and the Daniel Friederich-like head shape. Also noteworthy are the fine and well-rounded neck and the slightly raised fingerboard, which provide excellent playability.

This is the latest masterpiece from the esteemed luthier's workshop, the 2023 Andreas Kirschner Doubletop Guitar. Crafted with precision and an unwavering commitment to excellence, this instrument showcases an impeccable blend of robust power, resonant richness, and ergonomic comfort.

The guitar's external soundboard, made of highest quality of spruce, is paired with an inner layer of rich cedar, resulting in an enchanting tonal balance. This double-top configuration not only ensures a powerful sound projection but also contributes to the instrument's vibrant tonal nuances.

What sets this guitar apart is its meticulously shaped neck - designed with the player's comfort in mind. Perfectly contoured, the neck allows the left hand to glide effortlessly along the fretboard, ensuring fluidity in every chord transition and solo. Moreover, the soundboard's remarkable responsiveness amplifies every nuance, making each strum and pluck a joyous revelation, and making it near-impossible for a guitarist to put down. It is also worth mentioning that this guitar is one of the most natural-sounding doubletop guitars we have encountered.

Andreas Kirschner, with this creation, proves yet again why he's celebrated as the torchbearer of the revered German double-top guitar-making tradition. Every detail, from the intricate bracing to the selection of tonewoods, speaks volumes of his dedication to the craft.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • 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.
