Some Background:

Darren began his career in 1994 with an apprenticeship under Harry Fleishman. For three years he was immersed in learning about guitar construction, sound, and design. Darren moved to Tennessee in 1997 and repaired full time for the next three years. In 2001, he found himself with a beautiful wife, a baby boy, and a passion to build guitars again. His ever growing knowledge and forward thinking have led to the guitars Darren builds today.

All Perry guitars feature select tonewoods and all wood bindings. Features such as the elevated fingerboard extension and unconventional top and back bracing are all focused toward producing an ideal guitar for the fingerstyle player. He also utilizes zero frets, multiple soundholes, individual saddles, and access panels with variable porting to control tone, note seperation and string balance.

• Perry DJFS-12: (Don Jones Fingerstyle 12 fret) ~ 2003 Demo. We are VERY pleased to have a Perry in our shop at long last. Don Jones introduced us to Darren's work a few years ago. Darren's guitars are different, but nothing is done just to be different. There is a purpose to every thing. This guitar has 25 year old Indian Rosewood back and sides with a Western Red Cedar top. The elevated fingerboard is Darren's special design. Abalone and wooden rosette. Clear pickguard. Abalone top trim. The body and fingerboard are bound in Ebony. The contour of the headstock, bridge and fingerboard extension echo one another. Ebony fingerboard that measures 1 3/4" at the nut which alone is an amazing thing! It basically is a zero fret in combination with tiny posts that guide the strings. Slotted headstock with Waverly gold tuners/Ebony buttons. 24 5/8" scale length. 2 3/8" string spacing at the saddle, and ~ each string has its own, individual saddle, for perfect action and intonation. The lower bout measures 13 1/4"; the upper is 8 1/4", the waist is 8" and the guitar is 3 3/4" deep at the tail. Darren Perry was the featured luthier in a recent issue of FINGERSTYLE GUITAR magazine. Nitrocellulose lacquer finish that has settled into the grain a bit. A few minor cosmetic issues, as this is a demo guitar. And, for that reason, offered at the amazing price of SOLD! That includes the case, of course ~ and the totally serene sound that wafts from this baby when played. Front... Closer... Back... Headstock... Elevated fingerboard... Rosette... Down Front... Bridge... Side.
