2023 Wolfgang Jellinghaus "Alemana 1a CD/CD" CD/AR

This is Wolfgang Jellinghaus' "Alemana 1a" model which is similar to his well-known "Signature" model with a couple of modifications including standard fingerboard (not raised), single sides and African rosewood for the back and sides. Internally, the bracing system is designed to help move sound into this area of the upper bout - the lower harmonic bar is open on either side of the rosette, and there is no upper harmonic bar at all - so the sound moves easily and efficiently from the bridge area all the way into the uppermost reaches of the top, utilizing most of the soundboard for production of sound. Volume is therefore huge on this instrument, also in part due to the lightweight lattice-braced double-top (nomex in between two pieces of cedar) system for the soundboard. The guitar is also incredibly easy to play - partly due to the immediate responsiveness requiring little effort from the right hand, but also due to the sleek, easy neck shape for the left hand. Overall a very impressive concert guitar, particularly at this price point.
