Jakob Lebisch Double-Top
Jakob Lebisch is a German luthier based out of Offenbach, Germany, and is rising star in the world of luthiery, and this guitar showcases exactly why he’s in such high demand. With a waitlist that is already over a decade long and a reputation for craftsmanship, this instrument is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of art and by all measures: an elite instrument.
Key Features:
Top: Dark-tinted cedar double-top with balsa core
Back & Sides: Indian rosewood, exceptionally dark
Bracing: Parallel-stripped balsa doubletop with fan bracing and an internal soundpost
Scale Length: 650mm
Nut Width: 53mm
Fingerboard: Elevated design for improved upper-fret access
Tuners: Premium Scheller tuners with black base plates
Weight: Incredibly lightweight, approximately 1,200–1,300g
Tone & Playability:
This guitar is a powerhouse of sound—loud, responsive, and bursting with character. The sustain on the trebles is well-balanced, with no abrupt dead spots, and the instrument reacts to the finest nuances of touch. It offers an immense dynamic range, from a whisper-soft piano to a commanding fortissimo. If you appreciate a guitar that gives back exactly what you put into it, this is an outstanding choice.
The neck, with its 53mm nut and comfortable D-shaped profile, makes playing feel effortless, and the action is set for both ease and precision. The ultra-lightweight build means it practically disappears in your hands, allowing full immersion in its rich, colorful voice.
Aesthetic & Build Quality:
Lebisch’s rosette design is a masterclass in understated elegance—distinctive without being flashy, a perfect blend of modern minimalism and traditional craftsmanship. The elevated fingerboard, carved headstock, and dark, almost black Indian rosewood back all contribute to the refined aesthetic.
This instrument isn’t just an object of admiration—it’s a performer’s dream, blending modern innovation with the best of traditional guitar-making. Jakob Lebisch has created something truly remarkable, and this guitar stands as a testament to his genius.
For serious players and collectors alike, this is an instrument that demands to be experienced.
