The Nils Schebesta balsa doubletop guitar showcases an innovative approach to concert instrument design, tailored for the modern performer seeking a distinctive and immersive musical experience. Featuring a balsa core double-top construction, this guitar offers a rich, dark tonal palette typical of high-quality German doubletop instruments. Its meticulously crafted purfling, rosette, and neck highlight Schebesta’s exceptional attention to detail and artistry.

Nils Schebesta 2024 Doubletop 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.
