My First Matthias Dammann! | GuitarCollection.com

Check out more details of this guitar at: https://www.guitarcollection.com/prod... What else can I say besides what an honor it is to have a guitar in my shop from without a shadow of a doubt, the most famous guitar maker alive today...Matthias Dammann. The inventor of the double top guitar, played full-time by many of yours and my favorite concert artists (David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, Beijing Guitar Duo, Pablo Sáinz Villegas, and many, many more). Manuel Barrueco started playing Dammann guitars in 1993, the year before this beautiful example was made. This guitar is an early example of Matthias Dammann's doubletop guitar. At this time, nomex was not used, and he was experimenting with different interior cores or lack there-of. While it's an early example, these particular guitars are some of the most sought after by collectors. Some say that the pre-nomex guitars are more natural, and pure sounding. While this guitar is plenty loud, it's not the volume of his most recent instruments. That being said, if you are a believer that volume isn't everything like I am, you're in for the biggest treat. The sound of this guitar is regal, like the very best Daniel Friederich guitars. The fundamental carries like a dream, bringing breathtaking clarity, and the finest dynamic range I've seen. It's extremely responsive, but don't pick up nail noise. It's powerful, but not shout-y. It's elegant, but not quiet. It's a guitar that you steer, rather than it steering you. The video I made attached to this listing, on the GuitarCollection.com Youtube channel does a much better job at showcasing this vague, seemingly over-romantic statement. Let's talk about the playability. This guitar has a perfect, super thin, C shaped neck. It is 2mm wider than the typical width at the nut, coming in at 54mm. The scale length is 655mm, just 5mm more than the 650 standard. As I've always said, the shape of the neck always is much more important than the nut width and scale length. At this width, if the guitar had a thick neck, or even a D shape, I would find it uncomfortable. This guitar has a low action, and I find it extremely easy to play. This guitar has two professionally repaired cracks in the back that are hardly noticeable among the super dark Brazilian rosewood, and was refinished at some point. There are some scratches here and there in the typical places, but it is in remarkable shape for an instrument that was used professionally for many years. Aside from Antonio de Torres, Matthias Dammann guitars are the hardest guitars to find. It's extremely rare for them to come up for sale as Matthias' production is 1 or 2 per year, with a waitlist that will never be completed. When recent ones do come up for sale, they are often near or above $100,000 USD, and you won't see evidence of them on the market as they are sold quickly and privately. On top of that - this one has a Brazilian Rosewood, complete with Matthias Dammann's proof of purchase from the late 80's which bears his signature. If this is an instrument you might be interested in, please write to me at evan@guitarcollection.com - and if it's the right situation and moment to sell the guitar, I may just do that.
