Duy Ngoc Acoustic.

[petetexas]

Hi,

Just bought one of these acoustic Guitars , only info I can find is that they are made in Vietnam .

Looked at their web site , and none match any current models .

There is no head stock logo , no serial number , Just a oval shaped shim of wood inside stating Duy Ngoc .

The reason I got it was because it has a wonderful balanced tone across the strings , and a nice feel to the neck .

I love playing a six string now and then .

Cost £130 , including a VERY padded gig bag .

Will get some pics up tomorrow ( must rehearse the bass for the gig tonight ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! )

Anyone with any info ?

I was truly amazed to find this post, albeit somewhat late...!!

I was living in Saigon around 2001 when I came across this guy. I bought an acoustic from him and was staggered to find how good it was, especially for the price I paid.

I went back and bought another, even better one and finally after a couple of months I decided that this was my only chance to ever have a custom guitar built to my own spec. I still have it today and it sounds even better than the day I bought it.

It is completely hand made, all solid wood, bone nut and saddle, abalone inlays with ebony bridge pins.

I imported several similar spec guitars into the UK, under my own brand name. I sold them via word of mouth, never advertised them.

I kept several for my own use and have never seen the need to buy any other make.

At that time, they were all made by his brother at their home in a spare bedroom. But I see from their FB page that things have changed a bit since then.

Hope the guitar gives as much pleasure to you as they have to me.
