I finally got to play the Maurice DuPont short scale maple MC 20/14 I bought a while back. An oldie, '98 and made by the man himself. I am told it used to belong to Paul Mehling.
Whatever misfortune in Paul's life necessitated him selling it my heart goes out to him. This is one great rhythm guitar and no slouch on lead either. Age has likely mellowed its voice.
Anyway, I picked it up today and have spent several hours getting to know it. I feel so very fortunate and felt the need to share my good fortune. Thanks to. Michael Horowitz Your council was right on the money
My bandmate and I are going to record a demo cd next month and once done. I will post a few so others can hear. Back to playing now.

pick on
pickitjohn :peace:
I find it quite different from my Dunn. Have to change my strum stroke a little to get the balance right on this one. So much more mid range focus and what a crisp bark.
@pickitjohn we always play a few tunes with eyes closed. Just not Tao the point where the audience would think us rude LOL. And yes that is the guitar.
