We delivered this amazing Sobell Model 1back in 2001 to a great client who studied with Martin Simpson and DG owner Paul Heumiller. At that time Stefan had a stash of wonderful dark, Brazilian and this Model 1 Sobell features a perfect set of it. The tone of this Model 1 is incredibly rich thanks to this very special Old Growth Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and European Spruce top. This guitar is also stunningly gorgeous all around, with birdsfoot Rosette and trim and tri-color purfling. Incredibly playable and hard to put down. The label is signed by Martin Simpson and Stefan Sobell. It also includes an English made Calton Flight Case.
I've played more Sobells than anyone, except maybe Martin Simpson, and this one is special. I believe it's the woods which are some of the best to come out of Stefan's shop. The Brazilian is dark and very straight. Also, the original owner played it a bunch and broke it in with lots of Martin Simpson notes. He also kept it super nice, so it looks beautiful. Don't miss this standout Sobell guitar. 
This is a surprising instrument. It has a richness in tone that I don't often hear in Sobell guitars without losing any of the characteristic clarity you would expect. A really special instrument. | Scale Length | 25.5 in |
