Description

This is a 2009 Brazilian Orchestra Model guitar as new condition with hard case
Don Musser made his first guitar in 1976 - it ended up with actor Peter Fonda and his second one was bought by Tom Rush. Although he studied chemistry in university, his early success in guitar making led Musser to a career in luthiery. Don, Mark Whitebook and David Russell Young were all friends in Southern California in the late '60s and early '70s and they were some of the first to build high quality custom acoustic guitars. Musser also had a keen eye for high-end tonewood and his main business was selling wood to other luthiers. The very best timber was reserved for his own instruments - high-end acoustic guitars in dreadnought, orchestra, parlor, classical and jumbo styles. In 2003 he relocated from Colorado to Silver City, New Mexico. By 2006 he had made 250 guitars and counted Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Bono and Eddie Van Halen amongst his customers.
This guitar was built for my store in 2009 and has been in my personal collection since. It has what Don refers to as his "stash grade" Brazilian rosewood sides and back that are truly spectacular. I have enclosed a copy of the hand written build sheet that describes the build process and the dimensions of the guitar.
Don makes very few guitars every year and they are difficult to find on the secondary market especially in this condition.
