Maurice Dupont MD50B – 2003
A true Parisian gem for anyone looking for this iconic Dupont sound.
This 2003 Maurice Dupont MD50B is no ordinary guitar. It has been played extensively by a Gypsy jazz guitarist in Paris, and it shows in the very best way: the guitar has a few small blemishes from years of love and performance, but these only add to its story and character.
There’s something extraordinary about this instrument. We don’t know exactly what happened in the Dupont workshop that year, but the choice of woods and the way they came together gave this specific guitar a voice that rivals the finest instruments in Dupont’s line. It has a mature, open, and responsive tone with a percussive attack that makes every note sing with authenticity.
From the owner:
« I purchased this guitar in 2010 during a trip to Paris. It came directly from the hands of a young, phenomenal guitarist who at the time was performing with Ninine Garcia at La Chope des puces. At the end of the performance I congratulated this brilliant guitarist and made him a cash offer that he couldn’t refuse. The moment I played it, I knew it was something special. »
