It has featured on multiple solo albums and has seen live use in Europe with Magnolia Orchestra, and in Australia alongside Dave Mason (The Reels), Buried Country, Karma County, LJ Hill and others. This is very much a guitar with a story, shaped by real-world use at a professional level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"1418\"\u003eConstruction pairs a Sitka spruce top with Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides, matched to a mahogany neck. The Medium Jumbo body shape is Gerard Gilet’s own Blue Mountains Guitar design, developed to incorporate modern falcate bracing. The result is an instrument that is notably loud, punchy and dynamic, with excellent headroom and a fast, responsive feel that suits contemporary fingerstyle playing particularly well. Notes speak easily, with strong fundamental clarity and a rich overtone content that rewards a nuanced right hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1766\"\u003eFinished in nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar has a natural, organic feel and a resonance that reflects both the quality of the materials and the care taken in its construction. It balances beautifully, feels alive in the hands, and delivers the kind of immediacy and projection that makes it a reliable tool for recording and performance alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"2098\"\u003eGerard Gilet is widely regarded as one of Australia’s most celebrated acoustic builders, known for his precision, innovation and deep understanding of how a guitar should respond to a player. His instruments are sought after for their musicality rather than flash, and this BMG is a perfect example of that philosophy in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2100\" data-end=\"2262\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eA rare opportunity to own a professional-grade Australian-built acoustic with genuine provenance, exceptional tone and the unmistakable touch of a master luthier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2100\" data-end=\"2262\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eComes in HSC that has seen better days, but still functioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2100\" data-end=\"2262\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2285\" data-end=\"2306\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2311\" data-end=\"2333\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 2.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2338\" data-end=\"2363\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 20.21mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2399\" data-end=\"2411\"\u003eNut Width: 45.96mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2416\" data-end=\"2437\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 57.69mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2442\" data-end=\"2451\"\u003eWeight: 2kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2456\" data-end=\"2479\"\u003eBuilder: Gerard Gilet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2484\" data-end=\"2520\"\u003eModel: BMG (Blue Mountains Guitar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2525\" data-end=\"2543\"\u003eYear: Circa 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2548\" data-end=\"2583\"\u003eCountry of Manufacture: Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2588\" data-end=\"2614\"\u003eBody Shape: Medium Jumbo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2619\" data-end=\"2638\"\u003eTop: Sitka spruce\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2643\" data-end=\"2680\"\u003eBack and Sides: Tasmanian Blackwood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2685\" data-end=\"2701\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"2732\"\u003eBracing: Falcate bracing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2737\" data-end=\"2769\"\u003eFinish: Nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2924\" data-end=\"2945\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eCase: Hard shell case\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53839171027263,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G85034818","price":2697.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/26003-1.webp?v=1782095103","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/gilet-bmg-blue-mountains-guitar-aus-2015","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
