Sale Pending-Gage Halland Signature Series DC-H - Swiss Moon Spruce & Brazilian Rosewood

The Gage Halland Signature Series DC-H stands as a masterwork born from decades of devotion, precision, and imagination. Gage Halland, whose name has become synonymous with excellence among the world’s most discerning players and collectors, builds not simply guitars, but living, resonant sculptures of tone. His journey from apprentice to luminary luthier has been one of relentless pursuit, of sound, of touch, of beauty refined to its purest form. Each Halland instrument is a reflection of this philosophy, where materials and craftsmanship merge into something transcendent, something that exists beyond mere construction.

At the heart of this DC-H lies a Master Grade Swiss Moon Spruce top, selected for its ethereal tap tone and its ability to translate the lightest touch into luminous sound. This rare wood, harvested under the pale light of the winter moon, breathes with an uncanny clarity and evenness, producing a voice that is both silken and articulate. The back and sides are Master Grade Brazilian Rosewood, air dried for forty five years, a span of time long enough to season the soul of the wood itself. Together, these tonewoods sing in perfect equilibrium, the spruce’s celestial shimmer balanced by the rosewood’s deep, piano like power. Within, a delicate fusion of X bracing and lattice architecture supports and shapes the resonance, granting a responsiveness that feels alive beneath the player’s hands.

Every line of this guitar is sculpted with elegance and intention. The ebony bindings flow like a dark river around the luminous body, framing a canvas adorned with blue Paua purfling that dances like captured starlight. The Laskin style arm rest and rib rest, each edged with that same blue Paua accent, invite comfort without disturbing the instrument’s grace. The rosette, a swirl of Buckeye Burl and Paua, evokes the shifting hues of ocean depths and twilight skies. Each purfling line, from the soundboard to the back, sides, fingerboard, heel cap, and even the headstock front and rear, glows with Halland’s meticulous artistry, as though the guitar itself were trimmed in light.

The neck, hewn from Honduran mahogany, meets an ebony fingerboard and bridge that gleam beneath a gloss finish embracing the entire body and headstock. The multi scale design, from 26.25 to 25.5 inches, balances tension and tonal complexity, while the Jescar EVO gold frets shimmer subtly against the dark wood. Every tactile element has been considered, brass rings with abalone dot inlays catch the eye, while genuine ruby side dots, true rubies, offer a secret sparkle visible only to the player. It is an intimate gesture, a quiet luxury meant for the one who brings the instrument to life.

The gold Gotoh 510 tuning machines with black buttons turn with velvet precision, ensuring that the DC-H sings with unwavering stability. Even its flight case, a Hoffee carbon fiber shell, feels like a testament to the instrument’s rarity and worth. At a mere five pounds nine ounces, the guitar feels light, its balance effortless, its voice immense.

The Gage Halland Signature Series DC-H is not merely a guitar; it is the culmination of artistry, reverence, and imagination. It stands as an offering to the gods of music, crafted by a hand that understands both the soul of wood and the poetry of sound. In its presence, silence becomes sacred, and every note feels like the first light of dawn, pure, eternal, and filled with wonder.
