Add to CompareBrand New Halland DC-H African Blackwood/Lost Tunnel Redwood
This DC-H from Gage Halland is in the upper echelon of modern lutherie. Without a doubt one of the finest guitars we’ve had in the shop, Lost Tunnel Redwood on top and African Blackwood for the back and sides. This combination is one of ultimate tonal qualities, richness, warmth and idyllic clarity. Each individual note on this instrument has the viscosity of a full chord. Everyone here at Dream Guitars has been blown away by this guitar, and there is no higher praise our shop can offer. Aside from how it sounds it’s a sight for sore eyes — the natural beauty of the material that Gage uses so masterfully tells its own story. There is no need for additional ornation. As I write this I fight the urge to pick it up and play all day.

Here we have the genesis of Modern Lutherie, Ervin Somogyi’s #1. It is with delight and great honor for us to have this in the shop. It’s safe to say that this instrument is the catalyst that led to the development of the world of the modern fingerstlye string guitar. Recently restored by the master himself, this Jumbo from 1974 is reinvigorated are and ready to be played. Ervin tediously revoiced, refinished, and updated his #1. An updated neck profile, reshaped headstock, enlarged soundhole–essentially everything but the label was improved by Ervin. To have one of the most important steel string guitars revitalized and restored by the grandfather of modern lutherie himself is a magical thing. This Flamed Maple back and sides, and the Sitka Spruce top are original to the 1974 build. You can sense in this instrument that Ervin was developing something new, exploring uncharted territory and here marrying that with the best of his modern voicing techniques and aesthetics. This is where dream started.
