Eastman DM1-CLA Gypsy Jazz Guitar – 2020 – Petite Bouche – goodCondition

Description:

An Eastman DM1-CLA from 2020 (serial M2009463), in goodcondition. The DM1 is Eastman's take on the classic Selmer-Maccaferri "petite bouche" guitar, the oval-hole design made famous by Django Reinhardt. It has the punch, clarity and dry "bark" that gypsy jazz players look for. It is one of the most recommended gypsy jazz guitars in its price range, for students as well as working players.

Condition
I have played this guitar, so there is some light damage to the finish, but in general its in good shape. If you want to see all the little bumps, give me a heads up, and i'll send you a message with alle the pictures.

The guitar was owned and maintained by a professional guitar teacher and has been kept at stable humidity. Always taken care for and had multiple luthiers hands on it, to make it play very smooth.

Why this guitar

• A solid spruce top, which opens up and sounds better over the years
• Gotoh tuners, a bone nut and an ebony fingerboard, a higher spec than most guitars in this class
• Plays and sounds well beyond its price
• Ready to play, with no setup needed
