1995 John Le Voi S-Style Dreadnought

John Le Voi is a UK luthier most well known for his amazing Selmer Maccaferri style acoustics - most Django Reinhardt festivals will feature Mr Le Voi and several of his guitars. No grande or Selmer style petite bouche on this model - he will produce a more traditional style of acoustic guitar when asked. This guitar was part of a larger Le Voi collection - gypsy jazz was not the only style playing style the owner enjoyed, and this guitar was commissioned out of loyalty to a great luthier.

This model is the S-Style Dreadnought as you can find on John's web-site. With 12 frets to the body, there is slightly warmer tone, and a much slicker feel - the nut is 43mm unlike the colossal neck on the other one we have for sale. This guitar has a very nice snappy finger-picked sound, you'll struggle to be Paul Gilbert up the neck, but that isn't the point of this one.

Purely acoustic, possibly a singer's dream partner, it seems to have a sound similar to smaller body parlour guitars. More delicate and defined than our Taylors and never overpowering bass, but people will always hear it

Le Voi guitars are already rare and hard to separate from their owners, but a standard flat top is even rarer and this is an opportunity to have some Le Voi quality without nailing your colours to the Gyspy Jazz mast.

It is in very good condition - it has seen a lot of playing, but has minimal fret wear - it feels a lot newer than it is. 

It comes with its hard case, and has had a thorough service. It is part of a deceased estate, the only circumstance apparently that the owner would have parted with it.
