Flammang Grand Concert
Serial# 72 Flammang Grand Concert.
I believe it as built in 2002. I am 3rd owner, bought it here in 2008 or so. It is flawless except for a small dust fleck in finish at sound hole, a miniscule ding on back that is 1/4" long and 1/16" wide and a couple minor scuffs near sound hole. From a few feet away and I mean 3 feet it looks like new guitar. It has Cedar Creek Case in excellent shape. Guitar has never left my house in 10 years. I would say it is in excellent plus condition, verging on Mint minus if the flaws were not pointed out to you as they were to me. I bought it sight unseen and spent a long time looking for flaws and came to conclusion that they fall within the scope of what could happen while a new guitar was on display at dealers shop. I mention them to be honest but everyone who has seen guitar comments on how it looks new and unused. It is a short scale guitar, 24.9" Adirondack Spruce top, 1.75" nut width, 2 1/4" saddle spacing Lower bout is 15 1/8", upper 10 7/8", depth 3 3/4"- 4 3/8". Schaller tuners. Figured Mahogany sides and back. Guitar is for sale, no trades considered. Shipped free in lower 48 states. $3000. If you need specific photos not shown, let me know and I will try and take them for you. For those interested we can arrange an in hand description by phone where you ask questions and I answer looking at guitar. I am in Eugene Oregon if you want to see the guitar before purchase. Below are some comments from David Flammang in regard to this guitar some years back " The GC you speak of is a contemporary fingerstyle guitar( good strummer too) with a shorter scale 24.9" scale than usual. I found it fun and comfortable to play. The neck is a modern low profile. The GC has: Nitro finish, Bone nut and saddle, Indian rosewood headstock, fretboard binding, and body binding, mitered side and back purfling, Adirondack bracing. The wormhole is purely a cosmetic issue." my comments... the guitar is gorgeous in its simple presentation, the sides and back are quite attractive and the top is very nice but in my opinion not flashy. My own feelings on its sound are that it is not a loud guitar for its size but it has a depth and complexity that are incredible. In contrast to some guitars that do sound loud for their size, this guitar does not get overdriven easily if you strum it a little harder. By comparison you can play this guitar harder than the Collings of comparable volume. What blew me away with this guitar when I first got it was how full and complex it sounded when I tried to play it as quietly as possible. A lot of guitars don't do quiet very well, this one does and it also can be played with enthusiasm without the tone turning to loud mush. I have no idea where the worm hole is that David refers to in above quote, it must be incredibly small, with corrected 20-20 vision I can not see it. This guitar needs a home where it will be played. My arthritic hands are not up to it anymore. |

Found a Flammang here in the classifieds last winter and have been thrilled with it. This one looks like it should make someone very happy.

David Flammang builds a very, very fine instrument. In my opinion, they are incredibly undervalued even when new, and compare very well to similar luthier builds of double or more the cost.
I’ll wager someone will be truly happy with this one, especially at the price. Best wishes on the sale! |
