David PACE

Baltimore, Maryland, 2017

German Spruce soundboard, Indian rosewood back and sides

Gotoh tuning machines, ebony fingerboard

$ 8500  SOLD

This is another one of David's very beautiful traditional soundboard instruments. It has Pace's customary imposing sonic presence, displaying a rich, tender and complex pallette of sound. Powerful rolling bass notes support brilliant trebles with an amazingly rich mid-range. The soundboard is reinforced with the traditional seven fan braces. The impeccable French polish finish is a lovely enhancement to the very fine 10-year-old German spruce and the 20-year-old high quality Indian rosewood. A marvelous instrument for the concert hall or home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

David PACE

Baltimore, Maryland   2014

Cedar Soundboard, Double Top

Indian Rosewood back and sides

Ebony fingerboard, Gotoh tuning machines

SOLD

This is another superb double top we have received from David Pace. So far in our working together  his guitars have sold very quickly and no wonder with all the power and tonal clarity they demonstrated.

The double top functions like an amplifier with two separate vibrating surfaces separated by a thin layer of super light Nomax. The strength of projection of this instrument is amazing and the balance from bass to treble is all that could be desired.

David has crafted this guitar with meticulous standards of woodworking and acoustic finesse and the result is a lively concert instrument that will fill any recital hall with its beautiful voice.
