Jan Schneider - 2024 No. 699 Doubletop Spruce 64 cm

Overview

The 2024 Jan Schneider double-top guitar emerges from the workshop of the Czech luthier as an instrument that marries precision, innovation, and player comfort. Schneider’s dedication to merging quality with affordability shines through in this model, particularly noted for its innovative double-top soundboard design. Instead of using common materials like carbon or Nomex for the double-top, Schneider opts for a novel approach by milling cedar to minimize weight before adding a second layer of cedar, enhancing both the guitar’s resonance and durability while maintaining a light structure. This technique not only boosts the acoustic response and power but also contributes to the instrument’s dynamic and responsive nature.

Attention to comfort is evident in features such as the raised fingerboard and ergonomic radius, which facilitate easy navigation across the fretboard, and the satin-finished neck and armrest, which support extended play without discomfort. Sonically, the guitar excels with an impressive volume and a warmth that enriches performances, backed by a notable sustain that ensures clarity and richness in each note. This Jan Schneider creation stands as a modern luthier’s response to the demands of today’s guitarists, promising a harmonious blend of design finesse, sound excellence, and thoughtful consideration of the player’s needs.

Jan Schneider 2024 No. 699 Doubletop Spruce/Cedar 64 cm Classical Guitar Review

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.
