This instrument features Kobs’ nomex-based doubletop paired with his beautifully shaped cedar fan braces, producing a sound that is powerful, darkly resonant, and rich with overtone complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1434\" data-start=\"1033\"\u003eThe guitar has the unmistakable “Kobs depth”: huge, velvety basses, thick singing trebles, and a responsiveness that rewards even the lightest touch. Despite that large, enveloping sound, it maintains remarkable clarity and balance across all registers. The Indian rosewood back and sides complement the cedar top perfectly, delivering warmth, roundness, and a long, elegant decay that fills the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1794\" data-start=\"1436\"\u003ePlayability is equally impressive. The setup is low and comfortable, the neck has Kobs’ familiar, player-friendly profile, and the instrument responds instantly to changes in color and articulation. Attention to detail is exceptional — from the rosette motif to the precision of the purfling, to the ultra-smooth Scheller tuners that complete the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1930\" data-start=\"1796\"\u003eA top-tier concert guitar by one of Europe’s premier luthiers, showcasing both the power and the nuance that define Kobs’ finest work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"1935\" data-start=\"1932\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1956\" data-start=\"1937\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1956\" data-start=\"1940\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2196\" data-start=\"1957\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1975\" data-start=\"1957\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1975\" data-start=\"1959\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1968\" data-start=\"1959\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2033\" data-start=\"1976\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2033\" data-start=\"1978\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1986\" data-start=\"1978\"\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cedar\/Nomex Doubletop with Cedar Fan Bracing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2071\" data-start=\"2034\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2071\" data-start=\"2036\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2053\" data-start=\"2036\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2100\" data-start=\"2072\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2100\" data-start=\"2074\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2091\" data-start=\"2074\"\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 650 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2125\" data-start=\"2101\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2125\" data-start=\"2103\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2117\" data-start=\"2103\"\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2150\" data-start=\"2126\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2150\" data-start=\"2128\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2139\" data-start=\"2128\"\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scheller\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2173\" data-start=\"2151\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2173\" data-start=\"2153\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2167\" data-start=\"2153\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2196\" data-start=\"2174\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2196\" data-start=\"2176\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2185\" data-start=\"2176\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leona Carbon Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"2201\" data-start=\"2198\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"2219\" data-start=\"2203\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2219\" data-start=\"2206\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2343\" data-start=\"2220\"\u003eBrand new, commissioned for GuitarCollection.com, with perfect workmanship, clean finish, and an ideal concert-ready setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2343\" data-start=\"2220\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"308\" data-start=\"221\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"308\" data-start=\"221\"\u003eIf you're interested in purchasing, please write to me at \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" class=\"decorated-link cursor-pointer\" data-end=\"306\" data-start=\"281\"\u003eevan@guitarcollection.com\u003cspan class=\"ms-0.5 inline-block align-middle leading-none\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003csvg class=\"block h-[0.75em] w-[0.75em] stroke-current stroke-[0.75]\" data-rtl-flip=\"\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M14.3349 13.3301V6.60645L5.47065 15.4707C5.21095 15.7304 4.78895 15.7304 4.52925 15.4707C4.26955 15.211 4.26955 14.789 4.52925 14.5293L13.3935 5.66504H6.66011C6.29284 5.66504 5.99507 5.36727 5.99507 5C5.99507 4.63273 6.29284 4.33496 6.66011 4.33496H14.9999L15.1337 4.34863C15.4369 4.41057 15.665 4.67857 15.665 5V13.3301C15.6649 13.6973 15.3672 13.9951 14.9999 13.9951C14.6327 13.9951 14.335 13.6973 14.3349 13.3301Z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"438\" data-start=\"310\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"438\" data-start=\"310\"\u003ePlease note: Free UPS 2nd day air shipping is included if paid via a feeless method.
