Antoine DiMauro / DiMauro Special Jazz Chorus 1940s / Guitar

This is one of those very rare DiMauro Special Chorus, and it's in good Condition, dates back to the 1940s or early 1950s. Tonally way beyound the average, and a truly sophisticated impressive sounding instrument with excellent playabillity, beautifully detailed, with bound body, multiple top purfling, 3 piece neck, inlaid fingerboard, one of the inlays is replaced. Not your typical DiMauro but more towards Busato in terms of construction, and that's how it sounds as well. It has the right Bark and superb Volume and sounds sophistiacted Gypsy jazz. A great sounding and playing example of one of those very rare diMauro's 'Special Chorus'. Features a chunky D neck, solid spruce top, Curly laminated Mahogany back/sides, 3 piece neck with walnut centerpiece, SB tuners and original tailpiece, The bridge might be original also, but i'm not sure here, Rosewood Fingerboard with diamond shaped inlays. the top is restored, a few cracks are repaired, and one is repaired with a split. A really rare guitar and due it's rarity collectible. These guitars, and their builder certainly deserve great credit for their unique assets to Gypsy Jazz. Among others Eric Clapton and Pat Metheny are proud owners of these rare guitars. Comes in a good quality newer case.

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.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
