Leviora guitars
Has anyone played any of these?
https://leviora-guitars.de/en/guitars/steelstring/ I emailed the company asking some questions and got a response from Thomas Strieker saying he cannot build guitars right now.

The link is not happening for me...must be an iPad thing.. I played and did a video on the steel and nylon string back in the MacNichol forum days.

I played the same nylon played by Mr. K. It was a nice guitar--good intonation, nice sound. It did not end up in my collection for a number of not very good reasons: It was built along traditional lines and did not have the bevels of comfort, did not have a neck that suited my play, and did not (to my ear) sound like twice the money of a good Rainsong, Emerald, or Blackbird. I know that others bonded with the instrument and that my impressions are based on personal preference.

Thanks Kramster and Evan for your answers. I hope that more carbon fiber guitar companies come down the Pike. The more the better for us.

I played the steel string version way back in the MacNichol roadtrip days - I think it had fanned frets, too. Played amazingly well, the notes seemed to leap out of the guitar - super bright, from memory.
Crazy expensive though.

Thanks Barb and Tdq for your replies. The price (from 2016) on their website says 2500 €.

KarenB - I have a 6 and 12-string Leviora from Thomas and I love them. I hope he's planning on building more in the future!!! I know he's got two small twins, so being a Dad might be taking the fore right now.
