Poljakoff S1 Rosewood Spruce 2016

The extraordinary guitar was handbuilt by the German luthier Jakob Poljakoff. Despite his relatively young age, Poljakoff is an extremely experienced luthier, and at an exceptionally high level. His guitars are characterized by fantastic details and an unprecedented high level of finish.

This S1 is certainly a guitar that can compete with the best. The back and sides are made of beautiful Indian rosewood, and are paired with an AAA Mastergrade Alpine spruce top that is remarkably finished with shellac! The thin finish allows the top to vibrate optimally, and this is clearly reflected in the beautifully detailed and deep sound that the guitar produces.

The neck has a raised fingerboard, making it easy to reach the higher frets without providing the guitar with a cutaway. Poljakoff's eye for style and detail is further reflected in the cut-out head plate and rosette, which give a beautiful 3D effect. The guitar also has a beautiful subdued and natural appearance, and shows that a fantastic instrument does not always have to shout from the rooftops.

This Poljakoff S1 from 2016 has relatively many play marks on the shellac finish of the top, and is therefore in very good condition. The guitar is also exceptionally clean and comes with a TFOA passport in a Hiscox hardshell case.
