Sergei de Jonge is a renowned Canadian guitar maker whose craftsmanship has captivated musicians worldwide. With a keen eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to quality, de Jonge has elevated the art of guitar making to new heights. His instruments are prized for their exquisite tone, impeccable playability, and stunning aesthetics. Through his dedication and innovation, de Jonge has left an indelible mark on the world of guitar making and shaped the sound of future generations. Sergei established his own workshop in Toronto in 1972, building guitars using the method taught to him by Jean Larrivee. The late 1970s were a tumultuous time for de Jonge, as he moved to the Netherlands in 1978, returning a year later to build steel-string instruments as well. Unfortunately, in 1986, he lost his workshop and had to shift to other work, while keeping the workshop in mind, which he reopened in the early 1990s. This guitar sits right in the middle of that period and was made in 1981 for British singer-songwriter and musician Roger Whittaker, who actually used it on stage. He was known to have played several 12-string models before owning this one, primarily Guilds and Gibsons. Legend has it that Roger was inspired by Glenn Frey of The Eagles, who apparently also played a De Jonge 12-string. This 12-string is built with the classic western combination of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce. However, the shape of the body, binding, and rosette are very reminiscent of classical guitars. Considering that Sergei had only dipped his toes in the steel-string guitar world two years earlier when this guitar was built, we're not too surprised by its unique combination of features. This is a fantastic-sounding 12-string boutique instrument from one of the finest builders in the world, and frankly, the playability is still fantastic after all these years. It's also in excellent condition, the main damage being heavy crackle on the top finish. Played by Milo Groenhuijzen | Demo Gear: Ear Trumpet Labs Edwina Microphone

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.
