Overview

We're thrilled to bring in this 2026 cedar doubletop from Charalampos Koumridis, arriving to us straight from Greece. It's built around Koumridis's own Carbon Frame design, a modern approach to doubletop construction that pairs carbon fiber reinforcement with a traditional cedar voice.

Koumridis's instruments have been turning heads on the competition circuit. Guitarist Filippos Manoloudis recently won the Concerts in America competition playing one of his guitars, among a number of other recent wins.

Construction & Design

The cedar top is built on 5 fan bracing with carbon fiber reinforcement as part of Koumridis's Carbon Frame design (more on the concept here). The back and sides are a striking set of cocobolo, paired with a raised ebony fingerboard, side sound port, and integrated armrest. The neck is Spanish cedar with a carbon bar reinforcement, and the guitar is fitted with Alessi H5 tuning machines. The top has an oil finish, while the back and sides are finished in nitrocellulose lacquer.

Sound & Playability

Koumridis's Carbon Frame system is designed to bring the projection and structural stability of modern doubletop construction to a more classical sense of voice and warmth. Built on a 650 mm scale with a 52.5 mm nut and weighing in at 2280 grams, the guitar feels light and lively in the hands.

We'll share a fuller set of sound and playability notes once we've spent more hands on time with the instrument.
