2001 Dell'Arte Dark Eyes

Here is a rare opportunity to own a fine, handmade guitar at a price normally reserved for Asian imports. This high quality Selmer copy was handmade in Dell'Arte's California workshop and features solid rosewood back and sides, a spruce top, and a mahogany neck. The condition is excellent as the instrument shows hardly a single sign of use. Other than a few light scratches, it could easily be confused for a new guitar. The action is set at a slinky 2.75mm, making this instrument a breeze to play. Playability is further enhanced by the unusually thin neck profile. A great guitar for those with small hands or for players making the transition from solid bodies, archtops, or flatops.

The sound is very rich, with much of the guitar's focus being in the midrange. It has a nice nasal character to it which is very forgiving and listenable. The high end is significantly rounded off, resulting in warm, thick sounding lead lines.

A bigtone pickup is included.
