The Nomade has the sound and playability of Dupont's best instruments at an affordable price!
This Nomade has Mahogany back and sides, French spruce top, Mahogany neck, and a Satin finish. The neck is bolted on and can be removed which is handy when traveling.
This one has unusually nice wood for a Nomade. The back and sides have a lot of figure and a deep, chocolatey color that is more reminiscent of fine Brazilian rosewood.
The sound is very impressive....very similar to the MD-50 which is over twice the price!
Includes soft shell travel case.
This is the CASH price...add 3% (4% for International orders) if you'd like to pay with a credit card.
My Du Pont Nomad is a decent guitar. The action is decent; the sound is decent; and the appearance is decent. By decent, I mean that a veteran guitarist who knows his way around the instrument could find a lot to be pleased with in the Du Pont Nomad. Under 2K, the guitar is a definite good buy. The workmanship is professional grade. You don't need to take it to a luthier when you get it. Mine played just fine out of the box. You can dig in and get a full resounding response from the Nomad. You can vary your attack and the guitar will respond, whether you feather a chord or ring it out by digging in deeply. As one who is basically a jazz and finger-style player, gypsy jazz guitars have always been a physical challenge. But, I don't mind my few fumbles caused by lack of hand strength relative to a gypsy jazz guitar because the Nomad gives me a good payoff in sound. If you want to try your hand at the Django repertoire, I think the Nomad is worth the price as your first guitar. For many, it could be your only gypsy jazz guitar. It's that good.
