If this isn’t heaven, we don’t want to pass through the pearly gates. Gage Halland is one of the finest builders on the scene, and this our latest D-H model is resounding proof. A cool, balanced, articulate voice that the player can mold howsoever they choose, with focused trebles, round midrange, and expansive bass regiser. An exquisite modern fingerstyle instrument. The D-H body is Gage’s take on the Modified Dreadnought design, adding more air to the body and more complexity, volume, and headroom for expression. The back and sides are brick-red Cocobolo, one of only a few sets of Gage’s that he describes as “magic,” and on top we have a set of Moonspruce, plus arm and rib bevels. There’s even a palm bevel in lieu of a cutaway. Add to that a multiscale setup of 26.25-25.5″, as well as EVO frets and a Spalted rosette, and you’re looking at an heirloom instrument–at the beginning of its long life, and already so much guitar.
