Product Description
Michael Dunn’s Mystery Pacific is styled after and inspired by Mario Maccaferri’s Grande Bouche guitars built by Selmer in the early 1930’s. This beautiful Mystery Pacific model features a short 25 3/16” scale, 14 fret neck, and a 16” body. The top is cedar, the back and sides are Indian Rosewood, and the neck is Mahogany. This model features a Maccaferri inspired resonator, Spertzel tuners, Ebony strap peg, and a compensated split bone/ebony saddle. The tone is rich and complex with a very thick midrange. It is especially nice for solo chord melody playing and rhythm. The volume does not decrease as one plays up the fretboard and the projection is remarkable.This example is Indian rosewood back & sides with a fir top.In order to accommodate a standard under-saddle pickup in a traditional seasonal Maccaferri style bridge – a removable standard saddle was fitted. As there is no room in the body cavity of the guitar for the plug-jack – an 1/8″ jack is installed into the wood of the tailpiece.This Gypsy guitar features a D-shaped soundhole and a 25 3/16″ scale length. It also sports Dunn’s internal sound chamber, which enhances the guitar’s upper frequencies. The front wall of the interior sound box is located on the straight side of the “D,” and the sound box has a hole that directs sound into the parabolic reflector. OWNER say Sell- this is the lowest price you will ever see on this guitar
