Mueller, renowned for his groundbreaking balsa double-top design, has created an instrument that’s not only played by luminaries like Zoran Dukic, Sharon Isbin, Aniello Desiderio among many others, but also by young competitors winning major prizes worldwide (including 2 of the 4 GFA prizewinners of 2024). His waitlist now stretches well over 10 years—a testament to the extraordinary demand for his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eThis particular guitar sets a benchmark for evenness, warmth, and sustain. The meticulous balsa double-top construction gives it unparalleled resonance, with sustain so consistent it feels miraculous, particularly in the upper frets. Even in challenging pieces like \u003cem\u003eLa Catedral\u003c\/em\u003e by Barrios, the guitar delivers a sensitive, unwavering melody with minimal effort. Every note—from pianissimo to fortissimo—is perfectly balanced, with incredible clarity and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eThe dynamic range and tonal color are nothing short of stunning. Whether you’re exploring its angelic first string or reveling in the richness of its chords, this guitar offers effortless playability. The raised fingerboard and taller frets make it a joy to navigate even the highest registers, while the setup feels intuitive and natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eVisually, it’s equally impressive. The iconic Antonius Mueller rosette, Indian rosewood back and sides with an almost seamless appearance, and elegantly engraved Rodgers tuners with dark mother-of-pearl buttons all reflect the artistry and precision behind this guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cedar double-top with balsa core\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack and Sides\u003c\/strong\u003e: Indian rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale\u003c\/strong\u003e: 650mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Raised, with taller frets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuners\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rodgers with dark mother-of-pearl buttons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eIf you’re interested in owning a guitar like this, reach out to me.
