Luthier Ian Kneipp 1995 classical guitar

Ian Kneipp is one of the few luthiers who worked and learned how to make lattice classical guitars with Greg Smallman. As one can expect his guitars are very close to Greg guitar. Loud and warm with a strong string separation. Greg’s guitars are dream guitars, Ian’s guitars as well!

The whole guitar concept is very close to the Smallman guitars they share many things and really we had the chance to play some old Smallman guitars and they were very close.

The guitar is in perfect condition and has been professionally re-polished, the fingerboard has been replaced as well.

The sound is really powerful but without the Smallman sound characteristics, very dark and warm.
