D Hole Guitars
Grande Bouche

All our instruments are built to the Selmer Maccaferri plans supplied by F.Charle, Paris

D Hole
The Grande Bouch (Big Mouth) was originally designed by Mario Maccaferri to obtain the maximum volume while still retaining tone, and often included a resonator inside the body to help amplify the sound. This technique is no longer employed as it effects the tone of the instrument too much.
The D hole now is used as instrument of choice for many rhythm guitarists because of the warm full tone but are equally adept at producing the attack for solo work.
