My favorite French builder besides Friederich for many years now. Dominique’s guitars bring to the player the regal voice reminiscent of a fine Friederich, but at a price point that is attainable be we mere mortals! Absolutely mesmerizing guitars.

Dominique built this Spruce guitar, and a ’sister’ Cedar guitar at the same time. The Cedar was pre ordered and thus pre sold, so I ordered this lovely Spruce one so that somebody else could own one of these expressive and beautifully made guitars.

This guitar, even though it is new Spruce, is already beguiling, and hinting at even more as she unfolds over the next months with the new owner playing her in. Dominique used a stunning set of Madagascar Rosewood that is so lovely it almost looks like Ziricote.

A truly noble and beautifully voiced instrument.
