Whoa...you've got cojones, Dave-I'd be way too self-conscious to play that guitar! Have fun with it!

Best,
Jack.

you didn't seem too self conscious to be playing this at django in june...

yeah, but the pull-offs were killing me...

By the way, Dave, I think Double Whiskey is the perfect name for this-just the pics make me a little woozy...

Best,
Jack.

Hi Dave,
"Double Whiskey" is the first different interpretation of the Selmer style guitar, that I have seen around, really very nice, innovative but still maintaining that gypsy style and flavor that we all love.
It seems to be a real piece of art! Congratulations ! Michael Dunn demonstrates to be a great luthier and an artist. I imagine that, beyond the aesthetics, the guitar has a good sound and good musical characteristics. Please update us on your impressions on playing the guitar .
Really a beautiful guitar! I can't imagine how it will cost...

IMO, Michael Dunn is taking the Selmer design to great new places! He is to the Sel-Mac what Jimmy D'Aquisto was to the the archtop. A true innovator, and a very accomplished artist. My God, that's a beautiful work of art! I own one of the 6 (or 7) Dunn "Rhythm Futur's" that he made as a limited edition, and it is a killer sounding D-hole, and very beautiful.
Thanks for sharing those pics. Amazing.

wow.. . just.. .. eye-popping!!

Dave, I've just come back to this forum from an electric summer 'vacation' on the saloon circuit, playing an eclectic collection of oddball instruments (Explorer, V, doublenecked reso, etc..) but your Double Whiskey really takes the cake!

Living up in Canada, I've had the pleasure of playing several Dunns over the years - including an 'ebony & ivory' grande bouche that I thought was completely over-the-top till you posted pics of your new guitar.

It too, had a unique 'raspy' quality you wouldn't normally associate w/D-holes, altho' I noticed that it had definitely opened up and 'mellowed-out' the second time I got my hands on it, at two years of age, and having been gigged very hard.

Do you have any way of posting some soundclips of this bete?

Love to hear it in action...

I also got a new guitar, but it fell through a pore in my skin:
