DESCRIPTION:
Here we have a new Sergei de Jonge Classical Guitar with an elevated fingerboard, pairing a Spruce top with Indian Rosewood for the sides, back, binding, head plate and backstrap. The bracing is Spruce, the body blocks and linings are Mahogany. The bridge is Indian Rosewood and the fingerboard is Ebony. As is the case for most of de Jonge's guitars, the finish is a hand-applied French Polish.
Sergei de Jonge has been building and teaching guitar building for many years and like a number of premiere Canadian builders, was one of Jean Larrivee’s early apprentices.
This Sergei de Jonge Classical is a modern take on the classical style. It carries an elevated fingerboard- actually the body tapers down, away from the fingerboard – allowing significantly improved upper-fret access. A full 650mm scale length is used, with a 51mm nut width. The fan-braced top is Spruce, and the sides, two-piece back and head plate are Indian Rosewood. The body blocks linings and neck are Mahogany, the top and back bracing Spruce. The fingerboard is Ebony, with an Indian Rosewood bridge. The tuners are Gotoh models with black rollers and buttons. There are no electronics installed.
Being a new guitar, this example has not developed its voice or projection, but it is full, rich and responsive. And it is certainly visually striking!
This guitar has a slight finish blemish at the bridge. During construction, the bridge was removed and re-seated, and there's a very slight mark just past the high E string. Otherwise it is in pristine condition, and plays very well.
Sold with its original Black covered arched top hard shell case.
