Our first guitar from Gjis De Wit packs a punch. His Modified Dreadnought body, here rendered with florentine cutaway and angled bindings, plays great and has a voice equal parts power and articulation. It’s an excellent choice for fingerstyle play, or strumming when you need chords to remain crisp and clear. The multiscale setup is 26-25” with a unique fanning that makes the first position feel like a standard fretboard. Back and sides are gorgeously figured Narra, paired with Bearclaw German Spruce on top. The neck is actually Padauk, but Gjis has veneered its length in Ebony—ditto for the Spanish Cedar bridge—which creates a great contrast to the Narra/Spruce color scheme. De Wit painstakingly inlaid the headstock, heel, and bindings with a geometric motif, and installed premium Alessi tuners for added class. Additionally, the veneered bridge features individual phosphor bronze saddles for each string. All of this comes wrapped up in a swanky custom Art Case dressed up with leather—a fitting house for a well-dressed guitar. Interested in taking this one for a spin? Give us a shout!

Here’s an additional performance video of this instrument with our own Al Petteway!: https://youtu.be/hS_wScc2TWQ

We are always looking for the very best builders to add to our selection for you here at Dream Guitars. In the case of De Wit guitars our good friend Dustin Furlow wrote to me and said he just demoed some fabulous guitars at a guitar show. The maker sent us one to play in person and we were duly impressed. This is our first guitar for Gijs, but only the beginning as we've started a new relationship and will be offering them for you on an ongoing basis. This one is special, made for a show with incredible details and extras. Have a close look at the photos and be sure to listen closely to the magical voice.
Our friend Dustin Furlow turned us onto Gjis De Wit, and I'm so glad he did. This is our first Modified Dreadnought of his, dressed to the nines and rigged with an alternative multiscale system that feels completely normal in first position.
