Product Description

The newest Schoenberg, a 12-fret 000 cutaway out of Koa and European Spruce. This model has consistently been extremely successful, while the koa/spruce combination has been my own favorite. I've had a couple, one I played for years, eventually sold because the neck shape was a bit large, leaving me with a serious case of seller's remorse. They have all been built by Robert Anderson of Victoria BC, a great friend and the recent 2022 Awardee of the Carter Wosk Award in Applied Art + Design, Award of Distinction, November 2022.

There's a special musical quality to this wood/body/builder model that tugs strongly at my heart. This newest one is possibly the best, with a very light build and years of experiment and experience. The finish is a delicate french polish, with herringbone purfling, maple binding and abalone rosette, solid peghead, pyramid bridge (allows more vibration to the top, thus richer tone), and slim subtle V neck with a 1 ¾"+ nut width. This is an amazingly wonderful instrument. It responds to the gentlest touch with full, rich sound that is as sweet as any guitar I've played. It is not powerful or punchy or loud, but it is excessively musical.
