About the luthier
Jakob Lebisch works in Offenbach near Frankfurt and is regarded as one of the leading figures of the younger generation of double top builders. His background in fine craftsmanship and his focus on the acoustical behaviour of lightweight structures shaped his reputation very early in his career. Through steady refinement of his methods he created double top instruments that attracted international attention and set new standards for power and responsiveness. His guitars are admired for their clarity of concept and for a construction style that is both elegant and efficient.
Over the years he has developed a signature approach that blends structural minimalism with strong projection. His instruments often feature extremely low body weight combined with highly controllable resonance behaviour. Players appreciate his attention to detail which extends to preventive structural choices that enhance long term stability without adding unnecessary mass. Many concert guitarists value the direct tactile feedback of his instruments and the way the tone stays open even under strong articulation.
About the guitar
This double top guitar from 2017 reflects the qualities for which Jakob Lebisch is so well known. The cedar soundboard works together with the internal core to create a very fast and highly reactive surface. The body of Indian rosewood is finished with French polish and the entire instrument remains remarkably light in the hands. The air body resonance lies around E which gives the guitar a naturally open and clear presencem with deep basses and well-supported trebles. Klaus Scheller tuning machines support precise and stable tuning.
The sound shows the extraordinary energy and immediacy often associated with Lebisch guitars. The response is almost instantaneous. Tones leave the soundbox with a sense of pure force yet they keep a graceful beauty in their colour. Projection is impressive for such a lightweight build. The guitar throws its voice easily into the room and remains balanced while doing so. Even under demanding articulation the clarity between registers stays intact and every tone seems to cut through with conviction. It is easy to understand why so many professional players seek out his instruments. The combination of speed openness and power makes this guitar feel ready for any concert situation.
Condition
The instrument is in excellent condition with no cracks or repairs. It shows only normal signs of careful use and remains structurally clean and fully stable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Classical Guitars
How do I choose the right classical guitar for my level?
Choosing the right classical guitar depends on your playing level, musical goals, and budget. Beginners benefit from studio-model guitars from renowned workshops, while advanced players and professionals often choose a handmade master guitar. We are happy to advise you personally and can send detailed sound samples and videos on request.
What is the difference between a master guitar and a studio guitar?
Master guitars are built entirely by hand in the workshop of a single luthier, using only high-quality, well-aged tonewoods. Studio guitars are made in small series, often under the supervision of the master luthier, and offer excellent value for students and ambitious amateur players.
