We’re grateful each time a Sobell blesses our shop with its presence–Stefan’s builds are consistently resonant, dynamic, and eminently playable. This 2003 Model 1 is no exception! With a 1 13/16″ nut for left hand comfort and 25 5/8″ scale for crisp intonation in lowered tunings, this Sobell is all the arsenal a fingerstylist could need. You hardly apply any pressure and the notes start leaping off the fingerboard; to say this is a responsive guitar undersells it. Sobell’s instruments sell for a pretty penny these days, so this Model 1 with Indian Rosewood and European Spuce comes at an excellent bargain–and it’s in splendid shape, but broken in nicely. From Irish airs in DADGAD to country blues in Standard, this Sobell remains a big-voiced tour de force.
I'm a longtime fan of Sobells. Stefan manages to tease that extra 10% out of the bass notes to really fill out the voice. We just dressed the frets, too, so this Model 1 plays like melted butter. 
Nicely balanced with all of the midrange clarity you'd expect from a Sobell. Ideally suited for fingerstyle playing. | Scale Length | 25.63 in |
