2 D-Holes For Sale!!

a · July 2007

The D-500 has a bigger sweet spot than the "14 fret" guitars, which I believe gives it more tonal options. And it's LOUD. I haven't played it in a while because I'm on my Dupont again, but I'm holding it in my hands right now and having second thoughts about selling it!!

I had the tuners on the D-500 upgraded to Waverlys (Bronze 3-on-Plate, white knobs). It's also got a Dupont #2 bridge. see below for more.

My upgraded D-500 (Waverly tuners/Dupont Bridge) will go for $740 + shipping.

Here's a vid of me with the D-500:

That's certainly first-class guitar-playing!

thanks! i see lot's of mistakes, but it's definitely easier to play that stuff with the shorter scale neck.

UPDATE!!
I forgot to mention that I had the tuners on the D-500 upgraded to Waverlys (Bronze 3-on-Plate, white knobs). So the upgraded D-500 is selling for $700 + shipping. Of course, the original Gitane tuners will be included.

Great stuff! Really like your playing and you make that Gitane sound great.

the gitane makes it easier to play that stuff because i can play closer to the bridge and it's still within the range of the sweet spot. this one in particular has a special sound. i bought it at carmine street guitars where i tried it out next to other d-500s. it really stood out as something special. i didn't want to buy it because i had ordered the cigano, but i couldn't help it! it was kind of dumb of me, because i don't really have the money to spend like that (which is why i'm selling it now).

if it sells, i'll be kicking myself when winter puts me into another guitar crisis!!!
