2017 Jochen Rothel CD/SW

This particular guitar is built with a level of workmanship and attention to detail that is hard to surpass, and an elegant appearance that is near perfect. The mosaic from the rosette is inlaid on either end of the tieblock - a tip of the hat to Romanillos, whose influence is noticeable throughout the guitar. The cedar top is extremely stiff and perfectly quarter-sawn, and the back and sides are made of eye-catching, exquisitely quilted satinwood. The guitar is quite lightweight and plays comfortably. The tone is steady and clear in all registers, and very well balanced. It has a punchy, immediate response with a plump and juicy quality to every note - up into the trebles. With a highly refined sound, excellent volume and sustain, this guitar has it all. Although a second-hand guitar it is in excellent condition with only some minor blemishes and wear in the top. Otherwise a top example from this great maker.

A hardshell case is included with this guitar.
