German spruce Soundboard, Laotian ebony Back and Sides

David Pace is going to be one of the best know luthiers in the United States. A relative newcomer, David has achieved enormous skill and insight in fine guitar making already and I rank his recent instruments among the best I've seen and heard from American workshops.

This guitar is his number 11. As soon as I heard it I was impressed by its imposing sonic presence in the room. Powerful rolling bass notes supporting brilliant trebles with an amazingly rich mid-range.

The impeccable French polish finish is a lovely enhancement to the very fine German spruce and the unique Laotian rosewood with its alternating bands of "violin red" and deep black colors.

David J. PACE

Baltimore, USA, 2010
Cedar Double Top Soundboard, Indian Rosewood Back and Sides
Ebony fretboard with 650 string length
$ 6500 New Arrival

This is now the second double top we have received from David. The first sold in two weeks and no wonder with all the power and tonal clarity it demonstrated.

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

David J. Pace 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.
