From Delarue to Dick in less than a year is a big big swing of interest. Will be intereted to see what's next ... Is that what they called GAS?

There's a Delarue on e - b a y. The seller is located in France and is willing to ship worldwide. You only have 11 hours, however, to switch from Dick back to Delarue.

It look hard to get contact to Delarue and I really impress in Dick's guitar so I choose it. Other thing is the price of these 2 guitar are very different. The chance to see real Delarue guitar is almost 0%

The Delarue is an older one with spruce top but looks in nice condition. It is priced under $3k. If the sale finishes before any interested parties get a chance, and it does not sell, I can always PM the seller any interested Delcamper's details. The seller seems like a very straight and nice guy.

That is correct. Number 32 from Dominique. Early in his career but presumably one where he would have started refining his skills. This is not necessarily a reason to avoid it, nor the fact that it uses mahogany back and sides (which is more typically associated with cheaper guitars). A fairly recent Delarue with Indian Rosewood would typically sell used for US$8-10k so the starting price of $2850 clearly factors in the age of the guitar and the woods used.

The real question is how it sounds and how it plays - and I know the answer to neither.

Regards
Peter

Thank you for all. I'm not sure in Mahogany for Back and Side and it's price are very different from now.
I really want to hear it sound and have some trying. It may be good. Hahaha but I think it not good enough.
