Description:

This Dupont GA30 (Grand Auditorium) is one of just a handful that were commissioned and imported by Acoustic Music in Guilford, CT a few years earlier from Cognac, France luthier Maurice Dupont. Best known and well respected for his gypsy style guitars, the GA30 is something in between a Martin 000 and a Lowden - it is without a doubt the most responsive and vibrant guitar that I've played and stands out at satisfying expressive finger style method. It took me a strong year of playing numerous Martin, Bourgeois, Santa Cruz, Collings, Flammang, H, and numerous others high quality makes prior to I settled on the Dupont. Without indulging in embellishment, the very best way to describe it as that it immediately brings a smile to the face of whoever plays it. You need to feel it to appreciate it - it reacts to the lightest touch and is therefore capable of a large dynamic variety along with producing a definitive voice in every register - the bass response is unlike any 000 I've heard. This one is the very first of two that I was lucky adequate to discover and dates from 2006 - I sold the other just recently and was intending on keeping this, the more mature of the two, for a long long period of time ... sadly, a back injury prohibits my having the ability to play acoustic for the foreseeable future. The guitar has actually been established by Acoustic Music's in home luthier and lacks concern and has been well kept in all respects: correctly humidified and handled with care at all times - cosmetic condition is near mint with some minor wear at the headstock from a couple less than immaculate string modifications. The tuning machines have actually been upgraded from the stock Schaller to Waverly (with ebony buttons) and three extra saddles of bone, ivory, and mammoth were shaped to give some sonic variety. If, like me, you have thick, manly fingers this guitar will certainly feel extremely comfortable with its roughly 113/16' nut and 23/8" bridge spacings. The remainder of the dimensions are basically those of a 000 however with a somewhat rounder, even more womanly summary which seems a refinement to the basic Martin shape. The top is European spruce which reveals some good bearclaw figure and the back and sides are a glossy East Indian rosewood, while the faceplate and bindings are of Brazilian rosewood. The fretboard and bridge are ebony. The wood purflings and marquetry are magnificently carried out as is the abalone rosette. Scale length is 25.4". Has the Martin Vintage 000 'Geib' design heavy responsibility archtop case imagined together with a Dupont truss rod wrench and polishing fabric. Please excuse the bad quality photos, it's much prettier personally - and btw, that is not a scratch on the back of the neck, which is flawless, however a reflection. Will certainly offer for $2995 - no trades - rate is firm - still offered if listed - thank you
