Overview

This double-top guitar built by the Czech luthier Jan Schneider is a fantastic instrument in its price category. Built with the players' comfort and the public's delight in mind, this guitar is designed to be a reliable, powerful, and comfortable concert instrument. Using no carbon nor Nomex for, the double top is obtained by milling the first layer of cedar to reduce its weight, and then doubling it with a second thinner piece of cedar to get a resonant and resistant soundboard. This extra light construction, paired with overall care for lightness in the choice of the wood, makes for a very responsive, powerful, and spontaneous instrument. For the playing comfort, Jan Schneider opted for an elevated fingerboard along with an ergonomic fretboard radius, a satin neck, and an armrest. Sound wise, this guitar truly impresses by its almost endless seeming sustain, impressive volume, and warm tone.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitars

    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.
