Vanden, Mike / Mike Vanden Dreadnought Brazilian (with CITES) / 1987 / Guitar

Mike Vanden Dreadnought made by one the finest craftsmen in the business. Mike Vanden is mostly known for making Archtop guitars and Mandolins. He made guitars amongst others for Martin Taylor and John Renbourn. He didn't make many of these steelstring dreads, so this is probably one of only a few he ever made. The scarcity of old growth brazilian rosewood and difficulties importing it makes finding a dreadnought of this quality extremely rare and exciting.  Features include brazilian rosewood back and sides (With CITES), a spruce top, comfortable C-shaped mahogany neck and many stunning details.  These details include a wood bound Peghead with Herringbone purfling and Pearl Flowerpot inlay, wood body binding with herringbone top trim and delicate ebony inner purfling, old style wood fiber rosette and a stylish black pickguard. Condition is Good; very clean for its age except for two repaired sides cracks and expected signs of use. It is true what they say; The older they get the better they get, and this particular guitar is open, dry, woody and certainly has the 'woow' factor. Includes hardshell case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
