C-475, Wolfgang Jellinghaus (Germany)
As Wolfgang writes…I build my signature guitars with double top, a sandwich of nomex between two layers of solid, but very thin cedar or spruce tops.
The neck/body joint combines the construction of the traditional Spanish heel with a free floating fingerboard, in use for violins since centuries. The idea behind this was to get back all the flavours of sound character from the full size guitar top, and not squeezing the upper bout of the top between the glued on ebony fingerboard and upper harmonic bar.
For back, sides and bridge I prefer to use Granadillo (Platmiscium Yucatanum) wood from Mexico, a traditional tone wood for marimbaphones and very close to the wood data of Cocobolo and Madagascar rosewood. The logs I personaly select at the source and cut them into tone wood myself. Granadillo is not endangered by CITES term.
The sides are double and have a second layer of Cypress inside.
Greatly priced concert guitars!!! Quick response, excellent separation, projection, long sustain for the bass strings and beautiful singing trebles!!!
A must try !!!

Dedicated to honour the work of Matthias Dammann who started building double tops in 1989 using 2 tops with a honeycomb nomex in the middle, the reduction in weight led to increased volume, with less than 2mm of real wood left, axial and tangential stiffness was very important to keep the sweetness in the tone …

The goal of the Milestone Luthier Centre is to rebuild the history of classic guitar making by selecting six different master builders from the past 230 years who set new standards for the guitar making in terms of construction & sound
