This is my first post, so I figure this is as good a spot to start off as any. Here is my current crop...


Manouche Modele Jazz (Highly modified and refinished over the years)

Gitane D500

Agile Cool Cat Archtop

Old 50's Framus

Couple of fiddles etc.

Nice guitars! Good to see they are played and therefore loved.


Quality avatar, also. Django Reinhardt AND Peter Brotzmann/Derek Bailey. I approve. thumb.gif

About $400. You buy the pick-up & pickguard.


Then you have to ship it if you don't pick it up.


The thing is, that arch-top kills anything on the market in its price

or even a lot higher.


It's big. It's deep. It has more acoustic volume with .10's

than the Godin model has with .12's.


And since I can put .10's on it, the action is a dream.


It's really a rare bird.


I had a lawyer from LA & his wife come visit me a couple of months ago.

They got an incredibly cheap tour price. And they put him up in a

five-star hotel. The whole thing was around $1200 apiece, counting

airfare.


That's amazing.

 

What would be the shipping charges, on average, to the USA? Does he ship?


Kind of hard to hear the guitar on the track.

That's why I don't sell guitars.


I've shipped a couple of guitars home. But they went Fed-Ex.

It was over $300 each. But I'm not comfortable shipping them

any other way.


I'll ask Binh when I see him. It may not be for awhile though.

 

Thanks, when you do see him, let me know, and tell him I'm very interested in having him build a Marcellis-type archtop for me (I would be willing to pre=pay if necessary or pay a deposit), unless you can suggest something else. I think I might be willing to take a risk on shipping if he can work it out, although, after seeing your pictures and talking to other people, I am sort of dying to visit Vietnam. I suspect there is no way to contact him directly, or would that be a waste of my time?

Thanks man, I'm kind of new around here, so its nice to hear someone has heard of those musicians. If Django and Ornette Coleman had a lovechild, I'd be the offspring.


Hopefully I'll start posting again now that the forum is back to its old style. cool.gif

There are a couple of ways. You can upload the photos to Photobucket, Kiwi6, xs.to, or some other hosting service. This will give you a link you can insert into a post, between image tags by clicking on the button that looks like a mountain. You can also click on "Manage Attachments" and embed a pic in your post that way.
