FS, old unlabelled French guitar, most likely from the shop of Paul Beuscher

VicBulbon

Now that I got the Ivanovski, I'd like to let go of my old guitar. Its unlabelled, but according to the previous owner and his luthier, it was probably a guitar from the shop of Paul Beuscher with possible parts from DiMauro or Castelluccia. It plays well, big chunky neck like the guitars of the time. 630mm scale so on the short side. It definitely has that old school dry sound.

Asking $750 plus shipping. Let me know if you'd like more photos or you'd like to video call. I'm blind and those photos I took may not be adequate.

Hi @VicBulbon, would you be able to post a video/audio clip? I may be able to do a video chat later in week.

thanks in advance.

Hey Djazzy, here it is. Pretty terrible playing. I'm more of a collector than player, but I hope you get some ideas. I'm free to video call any time.

I was playing the video on my phone, my daughter heard it and said (without me saying anything) "that's actually pretty nice, who is that" :)

Thanks a lot haha. I am used to mostly play simple chord melody arrangements on archtops. Having not put time into GJ lately, the chops needed is truly different. I think the new guitar will inspire me too practice more though. To my ears, that old guitar does have a good dry sound, but frankly, its not Ibanez slick.
