MB Guitars / Himmerschlussel / 1983 / Heavenskybluemetallic / Guitar

In order to be able to provide at least a small picture of the importance and unicity of this guitar, you should know a bit about the story. These guitars should be considered a „ important moment“ in history of guitar-making, This guitar, the Himmelschlüssel (translated: "Key to heaven") it’s the original prototype (of only 13 ever made) and was made around 1980. This MB Himmelsschlüssel was originally designed and made by two luthiers far ahead of their time: Christian Müller and Roland Bauer. This particular guitar was build for Timo Gross. An excellent and important blues guitarist from Germany. (check out his website) These guitars and their technology were far ahead of their time, and very innovative considering it’s made in the late 70s early 80’s working with completely new materials and a new compound construction. They should be considered unique and of historical importance. Back in the days, wthen Carbon fiber and the strength of it was just discovered, MB discovered the use for this material, and put it into a innovative guitar-design that’s breathtaking and unique.Basically the guitar was a sandwich-body based on Carbon Fibre and Mahogany. It has great tone and unique possibilities. This is more than a simple show-off guitar. We are told Prince owns one of these beauty’s, however the Himmelschlüssel would certainly fits Prince’s Tone and looks, we have not been able to acknowledge this information. These instruments have a wonderful tone, sustain. MB guitars are no longer in production. A nice historic feature: This guitar performed on "the Wall" festival in Berlin back 1989. Scale length: 638mm (25.2") - Width at the nut: 43mm ( 1 11/16") - stringspacing at the saddle 55mm (2 3/16") comes with case for protection and original gigbag.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
