Gage Halland Brazilian German D-H Review

[mcduffnw]

Congrats DD!!!

Gage made an truly elegant and I well imagine tonally eloquent guitar for you.

I first met Gage about 2011/2012 at John Greven's house when Gage would come over and show John the guitars he was making and had made and ask John questions he had about building/voicing/tonewoods...you name it...just the "how to's" of it all. Even back then, you could see in Gage's instruments that he had more than just great woodworking chops...he had that rare and special "it" factor of greatness in what he was doing. You could see it and you could hear it, and his couple of years apprenticing for Michael Greenfield really catalyzed and crystalized Gage's talent and his vision for his instruments.

Like everyone else...I can't wait to hear your sound clips!!!


duff
Be A Player...Not A Polisher

Gage makes some of the very best sounding and most responsive guitars I've ever tried. Congrats

Gage will be displaying his guitars all week during the Luthiers Exhibit as part of Guitar Week at the Swannanoa Gathering, July 24-30. Also displaying will be Ken Parker and John Slobod (Circa Guitars).

What a beauty! I echo Tom Bsox about the little flares on the bevel ends.

Looking forward to hearing some of it!!!

The Swannanoa Gathering sounds like a wonderful time. Wish I was there…

Cheers, all

Paul

We are pleased, very much so, that Gage has just committed to B.I.G. III this year also! After this thread and everything else I have heard, I can't wait to try his guitars!!!

Just played JJI’s Halland OM today. My only reference for Halland-land. Wonderfully complex voice. Overtones we’re sweet and copious without interfering with the overall cacophony I was making. I’m not usually a big cedar fan, but this one had a really lovely bit of compression and springiness that made it so much fun to play. Great volume and projection as well. Thanks to JJI for allowing me to play it.

I can only imagine this DC-H is something incredible.

Ya man. I was really touched with how hard you cried when I left. It was a little weird how long that second hug lasted, but it’s cool. It’s a special guitar for sure.

I’m still crying. The second hug was definitely helpful, though.
