Adam Holzman) – Cedar Double Top, Indian Rosewood","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"1033\"\u003eThis 2016 Antonius Müller is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the world’s most sought-after double tops, built by a German master whose waiting list now exceeds ten years. This instrument carries exceptional provenance as the longtime concert guitar of Adam Holzman, one of the foremost American virtuosos and pedagogues. Holzman performed extensively on this guitar, and it will be accompanied by a signed letter from him detailing its history and use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1413\"\u003eMüller’s guitars are legendary for their effortless legato, deep sustain, and refined tonal palette—qualities that have made them the choice of players such as Sharon Isbin, Álvaro Pierri, Aniello Desiderio, Zoran Dukić, Dale Kavanagh, Hao Yang, Francisco Luis, and many others. This guitar exemplifies all of those qualities, with the added advantage of years of professional concert play that have opened the sound in remarkable ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1418\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1437\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1439\" data-end=\"1955\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1439\" data-end=\"1478\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1478\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1450\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016 (No. 5 of that year)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cedar double top with balsa core\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1562\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1562\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1544\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1591\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1591\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1582\"\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 650 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1594\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1594\" data-end=\"1608\"\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1617\" data-end=\"1683\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1683\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1628\"\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raised fingerboard for comfortable upper-fret access\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1684\" data-end=\"1721\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1686\" data-end=\"1721\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1686\" data-end=\"1697\"\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gotoh standard tuners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1955\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1724\" data-end=\"1955\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1724\" data-end=\"1738\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honest play wear from extensive concert use, including surface marks, a repaired dent in the top beneath the rosette, string ding, and polish wear on the top.
