Carsten Kobs is one of most famous luthiers based in Hamburg, Germany. Also, he's one of the pioneers of double-top construction and thus one of the new generations of German luthiers to adopt this innovative building technique. His double-top guitars are known for their distinct lightness, responsiveness and volume.  With a long and ever-growing waiting list (5 to 6 years), Kobs guitars are rarely available; it is a great opportunity to get a first-class double-top concert guitar at a market price, considering the demand for Carsten Kobs guitars is currently particularly high due to their formidable characteristics and is constantly increasing. This beautiful guitar is something very special, as the top is made of splendid choice of cedar and Rio for back/sides. It develops a unique “Kobs” sound, precise and warm, powerful and rich. On top of that, the playability is superb, and the premium Scheller tuners underline its high value.
Casten Kobs choses the finest timbers for this exceptional instrument: an elegant and fine top made of dark cedar and back/ sides of premium CITES-certified Brazilian rosewood. This double top is in excellent to mint condition with only a couple of almost invisible playing light marks.
Kobs’ double-top concept produces a powerful, highly expressive sound character, and lyrical, warm tone. The guitar responds to subtle dynamic changes and effortless, light playing throughout the fingerboard. Its sound, playability and volume will delight both the guitarist and the audience from the first note.
