This is Stephen's Friederich style double sided guitar. He has great respect for Master Luthier Daniel Friederich and loves the sound of his guitars; so Stephen decided to develop his own take on his style of build. These guitars are crafted with extra attention to the construction of the sides, composing of two normal thicknessed sides glued together which by doing so creates a very rigid structure. Along with with a thinner but heavier braced top the result is a louder and higher projecting guitar with great sustain. The Grand Concert now come with Scheller tuners as standard. https://www.gitarrenmechaniken.com/en/
The Grand Concert is a superb guitar and a popular choice for it's incredible sound. If it is something you are interested in trying please get in touch.
