Add to Compare2020 Delarue Concert Classical, Indian Rosewood/Spruce
Such a lovely example of modern French lutherie. The bar is set high with such work from Dominque Delarue! Straight-grain Indian Rosewood body with Spruce on top, 650mm scale and 51mm nut, and a slim play weight right at 4lbs—this Concert Classical feels natural and organic in hand, and responds handsomely to a wide range of attacks. The Spanish Cedar neck is carved out to a medium thickness throughout with a U-shaped profile, and the body is bound with Rosewood to match the headstock veneer and bridge. Gold Alessi tuners with Snakewood buttons are an added touch of elegance to go with Delarue’s intricately carved headstock, and at the soundhole we find a similarly intricate mosaic rosette with red purflings to spruce up the Spruce top, so to speak. Built in 2020 but already wide awake, expressive, and powerful.

Add to Compare2011 Dominique Delarue, Malaysian Blackwood/Cedar
Considered by many to be the heir to the Daniel Freiderich legacy, french luthier Dominique Delarue offers builds which marry a strong fundamental in the bass with clean, defined trebles and a colorful midrange—qualities this beauty from 2011 has in spades. We love the power and projection, paired with added warmth and presence in the mids. The body is Malaysian Blackwood, here with Red Cedar on top and Alessi tuners at the headstock for a touch of elegance. Delarue’s intricate mosaic rosette ties it all together at the soundhole, with a high gloss French Polish finish throughout to really set it off. 650mm scale with 51mm nut; seventh fret side dot; a slim playing weight of 3lbs 13oz.

Add to CompareDelarue Concert East Indian/Red Cedar
We are happy to invite another great builder into the shop; this time French luthier Dominique Delarue. A classical builder, Delarue began his woodworking career as a cabinet maker before becoming absorbed by the world of instrument-making in his adult years. Delarue‘s craftsmanship is impeccable, as you can see in the photos below, and he has a great eye for tonewoods (here we have an excellent sample of East Indian Rosewood back and sides and a tight-grained Western Red Cedar top).
The guitar is warm to the touch, and sings with a sweet panoply of overtones. The 2″ (52 mm) nut and Ebony fretboard allow for smooth left hand technique, and the setup allows for a delicate responsiveness: this is a sensitive instrument which reacts to the lightest attack.
This guitar comes with a Hiscox hardshell case.

Dominique Delarue’s relationship with wood began in his youth as a cabinet maker. Later, Delarue applied his skills in fine woodworking to the world of lutherie–and he’s never looked back.Delarue’s guitars are praised for their warmth and projection and the perfection of their fit and finish. His ambition continues to be the same as when he first started: “I strive in my direction towards more projection, more clearness, and of more precision, but without losing the depth and sensuality of the sound.”
Delarue’s guitars come highly recommended, and we’re happy to be finally be able to offer them to our clients.
