1989 Model 1 for sale
Daniel Clark is selling his Model 1 Sicilian guitar. I recently replaced the truss-rod (see earlier News item) and was able to check the guitar thoroughly, finding it to be in excellent order.
Daniel says:
I am selling my Sobell model one. This is a near perfect example of Stefan’s iconic classic. Made in early 1989, with Indian Rosewood back and sides, a German(?) spruce soundboard and a mahogany neck. It plays beautifully, with great action and ergonomics. Sound-wise it’s faultless – clear controlled bass, thick broad trebles, extraordinary sustain and almost hi-fi like mid’s. There is a soft roundness to its tone, and it has clearly been well cared for and loved during its years. Having recently been worked on by Stefan (see news post 17th October 2024) it has had a dual action truss rod fitted and been re-fretted with Evo Gold frets, leaving the guitar sounding and playing better than ever. It has a few tiny dinks and a very light scratch – nothing you would not expect from a 35-year-old guitar, all of which I have tried to photograph. It comes with its original Jack Clark case.
If you would like to know more information and are interested in purchasing it, please contact me on danielmarcusclark@gmail.com. I am based in Bath, but also often travel to Oxford if that helps.
