1990 Michael Dunn Mystery Pacific

Here is a wonderful short scale D hole guitar by the illustrious Vancouver, B.C. builder Michael Dunn. This very experienced and capable luthier has a career that stretches back to the late 60s. As far as anyone knows, Michael was the first North American luthier to make Selmer inspired guitars. 

While Michael's instruments are clearly based on Mario Maccaferri's original designs, they are much more than mere copies. Always unique, Michael's guitars are a breath of fresh air in the very conservative world of Selmer guitars. His willingness to experiment with materials, design, and aesthetics appeals to those looking for something different.

This beautiful Mystery Pacific model features a short 635mm scale, 14 fret neck, and a 16 1/4" body. The top is sitka spruce, the back and sides are myrtle, and the neck is Honduran mahogany. This model features a Maccaferri inspired resonator, Spertzel tuners, wood strap peg, and a compensated ebony saddle. 

The tone is rich and complex with a very thick midrange and an exceptionally resposive bass register. It is especially nice for solo chord melody playing and rhythm.

The condition is excellent and looks almost new. Only small signs of wear: just a few very small scratches and dings as well as some mild fretwear. At some point the instrument sustained some shipping damage to the side of the lower bass bout. There are signs of two repaired cracks on the side and the endblock was replaced by Michael Dunn.
