Welp, I just bought a Sobell
A Sobell has long been at the top of my dream guitar list. I've especially been intrigued by Stefan's Butterfly model.
I checked Stefan's site on a whim and found one on his Available Now page. I contacted the owner, confirmed the nut width and scale length, and it will be on the way to the States tomorrow. I am excited to finally experience one of Stefan's guitars.

Congratulations. One of the best guitars I've heard (out front in a very small setting) was a Sobell Model 1. I had a chance to play a used New World model, but timing was such that I wasn't in the market to purchase.

The Butterfly arrived yesterday in spite of the seller not filing any CITES paperwork and getting my address wrong.
Initial impressions are that I love the sound, it has that quality in the highs that reminds me of bagpipes and doesn't crap out no matter how hard I pick/strum. It will take me some time to get used to the shallow neck profile. Also, I will need to adjust my position because the lower bout is much bigger than I am used to and it digs into my forearm. I have the same issue playing my vintage Les Pauls, so I'm sure that it won't take me long to adjust.
