Artists who play instruments by this builder: Don Henley, The Gypsy Kings
The de Jonge SSS is approximately the same size of an OM guitar but with the curves of a classical and that makes it very elegant indeed. This is the prettiest de Jonge we've had the pleasure of offering. Its simplicity and first rate woods make it so. The Brazilian Rosewood on the body is very old and very rich in color and texture. The German Spruce top has abundant silking that you can quickly hear in the voice that is very, very strong and clear. The fingerboard is rare Snakewood as is the matching bridge. This is simply one of the finest de Jonges you'll find.

Player Reviews:
"I couldn't wait to play this one, it caught my eye immediately with its natural beauty and simple lines. But I was not prepared for how loud, clear and sophisticated the voice is. I love it, it makes you want to play and play and that is the true sign of a great guitar..." - Paul Heumiller
"This is one beautiful guitar - to look at and to play. It has elegant lines and great balance and sustain for fingerstyle playing." - Al Petteway
