1998 Matthias Dammann: cedar top (sandwich), Brazilian sides and back. These guitars are almost unobtainable. Manuel Barrueco and David Russell (among others) have been playing these for several years. This is a very responsive, fast guitar. It is possibly the most powerful guitar being made today The sound is warm and sustain excellent. The waiting list for these is at least ten years. The condition is excellent and original. Price: $18000
