Antonius Müller – 2020 Cedar / Brazilian Rosewood Double-Top Classical Guitar
Antonius Müller is one of the most sought-after luthiers in the world, with a waitlist extending over 12 years and a reputation for crafting instruments of remarkable tonal consistency, depth, and power. His guitars are played by elite concert artists including Sharon Isbin, Zoran Dukić, Aniello Desiderio, and members of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet—as well as emerging stars like Campbell Diamond, Hao Yang, and Francisco Luis.
This rare 2020 Müller features a cedar double-top with Brazilian rosewood back and sides—an extraordinary combination rarely seen in Müller’s catalog. The Brazilian set is beautifully bookmatched and includes sapwood detailing that is echoed in the headstock veneer, adding a distinct visual signature to an already exceptional instrument.
Key Features
Top: Cedar / Balsa / Cedar double-top with Müller’s signature balsa-chevron inner layer.
Back & Sides: Brazilian Rosewood (extremely rare for Müller) with sapwood center stripe
Bracing: Fan braced, with Balsa double-top chevron pattern – Müller’s own innovation.
Fingerboard: Slightly raised ebony fingerboard for easier access to upper frets.
Bridge & Rosette: Brazilian rosewood bridge with inlaid tie-block; classic Müller rosette with woven central motif and subtle red highlights.
Tuners: Premium Scheller tuners with dark mother-of-pearl buttons.
Scale & Nut Width: 650mm scale, 52mm nut width.
Sound & Playability
This guitar offers unmatched consistency across the entire fingerboard—a hallmark of Müller’s instruments. Every note sustains with balance, clarity, and beautiful tonal color. The trebles have a sparkling brilliance, enhanced by the Brazilian rosewood back and sides, while the basses are rich, focused, and warm.
What makes this guitar truly special is how effortless it is to play. It does not require aggressive technique to sound its best—on the contrary, even soft, delicate attacks produce expressive, full-bodied tones. The dynamic range is wide, the sustain is exceptional, and the instrument’s responsiveness allows for micro-level control of tone and volume.
The slightly thinner neck profile on this particular example makes it especially comfortable, and the fretwork and setup are flawless.
Condition
This guitar is in excellent condition, with only one tiny, superficial mark on the top. It has been well preserved and played lightly.
Final Thoughts
This is one of the finest Antonius Müller guitars we’ve had the privilege to offer—an extraordinary opportunity to own a world-class concert instrument from one of the most respected luthiers alive. Its tone, feel, and craftsmanship are truly elite.
