  Noice! Duffell makes a helluva guitar. Spruce top with rosewood? 670 scale?

  I believe the top on this one western red cedar. 670 scale. Rosewood sides maybe?

  It's a mighty fine guitar. I love playing it one stage. Plays smooth. I can pull off things on this guitar that I can't on my other (gaffiero, but I have the action set higher). I would honestly record an album with this guitar if I was in the position to, because it's so balanced and warm.

  But after spending the month with it, I realized I want something sonically brighter that can cut through an acoustic jam. Currently chasing a more traditional Selmer/Busato style sound.

  I'm open to trades for the right guitar.

  That's spruce with some pigment, not cedar. Nice price for a Duffell, he's a great builder, CVH plays one of his models. I think a new one costs 5k+. Could you go ahead and post a video here so we can have a listen? Thanks

  I think there are a bunch of vids of that particular guitar.

  Don't see so many used ones for sale. I'm still very happy with mine after 7 years.

  This is a brilliant guitar that I'm sure most of us have heard before. This is the guitar that sold me on Duffell guitars. If I didn't already have a other one in the queue, no question I would have bought this one.

  Players that use Jerome's guitars don't often let them go, so if you're looking for a proven monster of a guitar, it's this one.

  Man, that’s a great opportunity, someone needs to hop on this! What is the neck like?

  Argghhhhh, CLEAN THE FRETBOARD!!!!!

  Looks great though 😁. I've heard a few in person and played one last year, and they've all been loud and very well rounded tonally - the trebles were not brash on any of them and they had a distinct sweetness.

  Hey Squad,

  Here are a couple of clips below for reference. I just put some fresh strings on yesterday and it's much sounding much brighter -- which is making me have second thoughts on selling it. But think I can still let it go and continue my journey

  I recorded these with the Shure SM57 and blended a little of my iphone audio with it.

  I just listened to your Rose Room. If that's "slop", please dont post anything when you're on top of your game. I fear that it would be so good, I might never want to play again!

  Now that I finally figured out the issue of browser not wanting to play those files (DuckDuckGo browser was blocking the cookies that Google has to have, worked fine in Chrome), fantastic sounding guitar and playing, man.
