FOR SALE - Jerome Duffell No 19

tbleen

I'm the second owner of this easy playing Jerome Duffell. I would describe the one as warm and balanced, more modern. It definitely gets that "growl" when le pomping -- lot of low end for a petite bouche. This guitar plays really fast with reasonably low action (no buzz with my heavy touch).

It has a piezo transducer pickup installed inside with the 1/4 jack endpin.

Location: NYC

Asking: $3500 + Shipping

I'll take some video and send samples upon request.

Noice! Duffell makes a helluva guitar. Spruce top with rosewood? 670 scale?

I believe the top on this one western red cedar. 670 scale. Rosewood sides maybe?

It's a mighty fine guitar. I love playing it one stage. Plays smooth. I can pull off things on this guitar that I can't on my other (gaffiero, but I have the action set higher). I would honestly record an album with this guitar if I was in the position to, because it's so balanced and warm.

But after spending the month with it, I realized I want something sonically brighter that can cut through an acoustic jam. Currently chasing a more traditional Selmer/Busato style sound.

I'm open to trades for the right guitar.

That's spruce with some pigment, not cedar. Nice price for a Duffell, he's a great builder, CVH plays one of his models. I think a new one costs 5k+. Could you go ahead and post a video here so we can have a listen? Thanks

I think there are a bunch of vids of that particular guitar.

Don't see so many used ones for sale. I'm still very happy with mine after 7 years.
