MAURICE DUPONT Model MD 50 (D Hole)
Listen to the beautiful tone of this MD50 D Hole as Camaron De la Vega plays "Danse Norvegienne" with Rodrigo Santago.
It is rare to find an MD50 in a D hole! Maurice only makes a few and this one was ordered a year ago. It has the wonderful earthy/woody tone you expect from a D hole yet still sparkles at the high end for soloing. I am glad I waited! The MD 50 has achieved world wide acclaim and is one of the most popular guitars played by Professional gypsy jazz guitarists. Maurice DuPont creates an exceptional reproduction of the second generation French Selmer guitars. The MD 50 is beautifully crafted and with Dupont’s precision fretworks and neck geometry it is an absolute joy to play. For French authenticity and modern craftsmanship you can do no better!
Dupont guitars are world renowned and are of exceptional quality. We at Gypsy Jazz Australia are so proud to be the first to import a range of Dupont guitars into Australia!
This model is sold with a hard case.
All guitars are professionally set-up upon arrival from Europe.

Maurice Dupont Guitars
Initially trained in Paris by the famous luthier Jacques Favino, Maurice Dupont first opened his own workshop near Cognac in France in 1981. Since then he has become one of the most respected luthiers in France. In 1989 the honour of “Best French Craftsman” was bestowed on him.
While first gaining a reputation for his classical guitars in 1986 Maurice made his first copy of a Selma-Maccaferri guitar. These Gypsy guitars have since become the leading product of his workshop and the popular choice of many of the worlds top guitarists including Bireli Lagrene, Raphael Fays, Romane and Marc Fosset.
Maurice DuPont has more recently installed a saw mill and wood seasoning space to store and age specialty woods for making an even more unique instrument found in his Veille Reserve models. Gypsy Jazz Australia aims to import these models eventually.
