This outfit turned up recently in central France, featuring a brand new condition di Mauro Chorus, equipped with an ST 48 Stimer Pick up with the original cord and an equally near new condition Stimer Amp "Modele M 10" with dual voltage selector 110/220. A once in a lifetime opportunity to own a complete near new gypsy rig that is 65 years old..!!! SOLD (BEST OF)

This is a great sounding and playing example of the di Mauro's signature model.. a big chunky manly neck, a bark that is "sans pareil" Vibe and Mojo at no extra cost.. just in case you did not know it, a nice little plaque across the shoulder...it is a DI MAURO..!!! excellent playability, this guitar needs nothing. original SB and tailpiece, replacement bridge. it is ready to bark..!! NHSC SOLD (BEST OF)

by the early 50's, the Chorus has stock SB tuners, and an adjustable bridge, earlier considered upgrades. Mahogany back and sides, maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, the guitar is 100% original. the playability is perfect and the 50's style C neck is quite comfortable to play, albeit somewhat beefy for smaller hands.. the sound is spot on..volume and character..another great example of the di Mauro creation. NHSC SOLD (BEST OF)

arguably the best model to come out of the Antoine di Mauro Workshop..this one is no exception..great sounding and playing..it was refretted, so the playability is spot on..soon after it was born, a more "modern", yet original tailpiece was installed, to accommodate loop ends, and the "new" style of strings with ball ends. it has original SB tuners, that look like Selmer tuners, with one replaced, due to it having been broken..!! the shadow on the top confirms that this guitar was outfitted with a ST 51 Stimer for a very long time.. sadly the pick up is gone, but modern reissues exist for those who might want that special sound..!! showing signs of gypsy life, this guitar wants to be played and played.. comes in a modern hardshell case NHSC SOLD (BEST OF)

a beautiful example of the di Mauro workshop, in very excellent condition. solid spruce top, maple back and sides, outfitted with a pickguard, di Mauro decal on the top, and "marque au fer" on the back of the headstock. "clover leaf" tuners that turn backwards..original frets..original in every way..excellent playability..sweet "perched" voice ready for your enjoyment..!! NHSC SOLD (BEST OF)

We have here a rare model Chorus Deluxe, with original arm and knee "rests". the finish has somewhat peeled off over the years, as can be seen in the various photos. one interesting detail, on the headstock, is the presence of the two "stiffening" aluminium bars sticking out at the end..directly "borrowed" from the Maccaferri design, installed in two channels standing "on end" to afford rigidity to the neck without adding significant wait.. the body and sides are maple as well as the two piece neck with a refretted rosewood fingerboard. SB tuners that turn the "right"way, making this guitar one of the earliest to have them installed..original Tailpiece that will only accept loop end strings..original adjustable rosewood bridge, multi-ply binding, bound F holes, all being part tof the "Deluxe" appointments..this guitar plays and sounds great.. to illustrate the difference between a regular Chorus and the Deluxe, you can see a photo of them next to each other.. the regular has non original moustaches and bridge.
