Madison, WINew 503
I need to recoup some costs from a recent purchase so I am selling my 2009 Martin Tremblay #35 Grande Bouche
This guitar used to belong to Denis Chang and Will Dickerson and was used for the DC Music School Rhythm Lesson series:
Here are the specs:
- German spruce top
- Laminated flamed maple back and sides
- European maple neck
- Ebony fretboard
- String length: 670mm
- Standard nut width: 1 3/4”
- Neck width at 14th fret: 2 1/4”
- Body width: 15 13/16”
- Body length: 18 1/2”
- Body depth at neck: 3 9/16”
- Body depth at end block: 4”
- Comes with hardshell case
The guitar is well used and has scratches and dents, but no cracks.
In 2019, Martin Tremblay himself performed a neck reset and re-fretting on this guitar. Recently set up by **** before I bought it.

Considering I've seen you start from Altamiras and work your way up through luthier and vintage guitars of high quality, I can only speculate at what is left to purchase. Perhaps you convinced the Archtop Foundation to part with a Chinery Blue guitar? 😂🤷♂️
Fair price for a top quality guitar. How would you describe its sound?
I would just like to chime in to say that this guitar is absolutely fantastic. Loud, gorgeous, balanced-sounding. If this caught me at a different time I would buy it. Martin's output is low, quality-first, and these don't come up very often. His new prices are justified, and Gian's 2009 grande bouche is a steal IMO for whoever is smart/lucky enough to buy it. One of my favorite sounding guitars I played at DIJ this summer.
Does this guitar have an adjustable truss rod?
Yes it does have an adjustable truss rod.
It has a more modern than vintage type of sound. I think ethanwm sums it up well in the post above. You also heard it in person in DiJ.
Yes I was right across from it, a few feet away. As they say, what happens at DiJ, stays at DiJ...until somebody brings it back. That thing sounded fantastic. It should find a good home quick.
Still available
Price updated to $2,675 plus shipping. Not interested in trades.
I have closely inspected, extensively heard, and have done some minor action tweaking on this very very tasty guitar. Excellent instrument in every regard including tone, stability, feel, looks amazing. It’s the best Django axe value available in the US as of now. If you want to make a big upgrade for well under $3k, this is it. Really!
