Hi,
I'll be at this year's Djangofest NW and might bring my beautiful 2007 Dupont MDC60 with the intention of selling it.
I can't afford to have two high end guitars and with the current exchange rate of the US Dollar against the Mexican peso it seems like a good time to sell it.
I bought it new from Jacques Mazzoleni at gypsyguitars.com
I'm reluctant to part with it but could really use the extra cash right now. I'll only bring it if there's someone seriously interested in buying it and I will consider serious offers. A new one would be $3750
The guitar is in great shape. No cracks and just a few dings here and there, mostly along the binding (see pics). Frets are in good condition. The only mod is a piece of real suede under the tailpiece and the bridge was sanded for lower action.
Tonally it's one of the best Duponts I've ever played and last time at Djangofest even Bob Holo was amazed at how every note is even along the entire fretboard.
Very dry and traditional sounding. Very loud. Easy to play, it's set up with very low action right now. No buzzes.
It has an awesome bark and chord shots sound like thunder out of this box. Good for lead and rhythm.
I will record sound samples and provide more pictures upon request.

Remember, guitars will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no guitars (with apologies to the fabulous, furry, freak brothers)
