This may be the only Sobell 7 string ever made. We custom built it back in 2001 for one of our good customers. It features Stefan’s larger Model 2 body in deep, rich Brazilian and European Spruce, the only Spruce Stefan will build with. The 7th string can be employed numerous ways from simply adding a low B to Standard tuning or a low A or G to DADGAD. Of course the sky is the limit for other tunings as well. The tone is stellar, this is one of the finest sounding Sobell guitars we’ve sold, period. It’s full and strong with lots of body and character. It’s complete with a Highlander pickup and a Calton case. We love the musical doors that a 7 string opens up. Step through the door…

For many years we were the exclusive U.S. dealer for Sobell instruments and we’ve played more than anybody. So we are hear to tell you that this is a great Sobell. A few years back Stefan designed his New World model to add some of the traditional American 000 sound to his unique voice. This guitar does just that, you get all the Sobell clarity and sustain made famous by Martin Simpson, who helped spawn the idea for Dream Guitars, but you also get a wonderful punch and midrange that’s more familiar. This is also a superb recording guitar. The smaller size is easy to hold and this one sports dark, rich Brazilian Rosewood and an Adirondack Spruce top.

Another fantastic instrument from Stefan Sobell.

This is the best sounding Model 1 I’ve ever played and the reason is the amazing, dark black Brazilian Rosewood Stefan used for the body. It was one of a few sets he built with in 2001 and 2002 and it’s quite special. The Sobell Model 1 is the sound made famous by fingerstyle virtuoso Martin Simpson, who it just so happens was instrumental in Dream Guitars coming to be. This Sobell has Stefan’s trademark clarity and separation coupled with unbelievable sustain and richness. If you’ve been waiting for that special Sobell, fate has brought you this beauty.
