Is there anybody near the Madison, Wisconsin area that has a Dupont Vieille Reserve or a Barault that would be willing to let me test them out? I am just really curious to hear how these very high end guitars compare to what I have currently. I would not mind driving a little bit. It would be fun to geek out about guitars, gypsy jazz, and to jam.
I went through the same thing when I was shopping for archtop guitars, I went through 5 different archtops looking for "that sound". I decide to stop messing around and just pick up a Gibson L-5 and then I finally had the sound that I heard in my head.
Thanks!

Thanks! I just sent them a Facebook message to check what they have in stock.
When I did the comparison videos it really opened my eyes on how different these guitars can be from each other. Hence why I would prefer to try them in person instead of spending $6,000+ on a guitar and not liking it then dealing with the hassle of shipping it back.
I am chatting with them right now. They are still in business but no actual store front or website.
Or France!
I wish I could! Can't really get away from home for too many days. The last time I went to France, I wasn't even interested in gypsy jazz. Missed opportunity there since we spent 5 days in Paris.
