2010 D'aigle ***New Price!!!***

When not out gigging with his band the Red Rock Hot Club, luthier Rich D'Aigle spends his time handcrafting beautiful Selmer style guitars in his Salt Lake City workshop. This traditional 14 fret D hole instrument is an outstanding example of his work. Based on original Selmer specifications, this guitar has a 15 3/4" body, a 670mm scale length, 1 3/4" nut. The top is spruce, the back and sides are beautifully figured cocobolo, the neck is walnut, and the fingerboard is rosewood.The top was heat bent using the traditional Selmer method, a time consuming and expensive feature that is usually only found on flagship instruments like Dupont's Vieille Reserve. Hardware includes a set of a Grover tuners and a DR tailpiece.

This instrument has the rich, open tonal quality that D holes are known for, yet the long scale length gives it enough power for clear, projecting lead work. Warm, complex, and rounded in character, this instrument is highly versatile and can be used effectively for both lead and rhythm in numerous styles.

This guitar is in excellent condition. There is some pickwear and mild finish checking on the top. The frets have a  moderate amount of wear. Otherwise, it's quite clean with no structural issues.

Most luthiers would charge $5K or more for a handmade instrument of this quality. Here's a chance to get a finely made instrument for far less!
