Martin’s D-42 series is legendary for taking their classic dreadnought design and loading it up with just about every high-class visual appointment in the book, and the D-42 Special manages to take that formula to bold new heights! Under the hood, the D-42 Special is very similar to a standard D-42, boasting a premium-grade Sitka spruce top, East Indian rosewood back and sides, and scalloped forward-shifted X-braces to deliver Martin’s signature roaring low-end power and lush, resonant highs. However, the thing that makes the D-42 Special so special is the beautifully intricate floral inlay work on the fingerboard, headstock, and even the pickguard! Finally, if you ever manage to tear your eyes away from this guitar’s exquisite visuals, its comfortable Modified Low-oval profile mahogany neck and jet-black ebony fingerboard make the D-42 Special an absolute joy to play.

Le meilleur endroit si vous cherchez une bass/guitare Fender custom shop. J’ai découvert Gérald Musique via Reverb et acheter une Jazz Bass custom shop. Le service a été super. J’ai commandée une deuxième bass Fender Custom
Shop auprès de David et son équipe. Ils ont été très serviables et m’ont répondu et placé ma commande chez Fender en moins de 24hr. Les délais de livraison était de 12 à 14 mois, mes commande a été remplit 6 mois plus tôt que prévue. La communication aussi a été excellente.

Super service et super inventaire de produits Fender Custom shop en stock. Je recommande fortement Gérald Musique si vous considérez acheter une Fender Custom Shop.

This place rocks! I was looking for a very specific guitar all across Canada and I found it in this gem of a shop located in Quebec. The people I dealt with there, namely Eric, were absolutely amazing. Very accommodating and helpful. I would buy from here again in a heartbeat. The guitar arrived in Victoria on time, quickly, very well packaged and I'm not even kidding when I say it was perfectly in tune out of the case and beautifully set up. I don't think that's ever happened in all my years of buying instruments. Thank you to Gérald Musique!

I recently purchased a digital piano from Gerald Musique and I am writing this review because I was completely amazed by their exceptional customer service. The purchase was smooth and the delivery experience was amazing. I received excellent communication regarding delivery options, dates and times. Delivery was prompt and professional. I would highly recommend Gerald Musique and will share my experience many times because it was just that good. Well done Gerald Musique, you are awesome.

Belle boutique d'instruments de musique, matériel récent en stock. Très belle sélection de guitares (particulièrement les acoustiques et semi-acoustiques). J'ai acheté une guitare Gretsch. Le prix était plus bas que toutes les autres boutiques en ligne au Canada! À la livraison le propriétaire a pris le temps de me montrer des modèles similaires et quelques trésors de sa collection. Une belle expérience d'achat.

I took a chance buying a guitar online from this shop and it's by far the best guitar I own. Made in Canada beauty, the Godin Session 59T. The price was incredible as well as they took a very reasonable offer. Everything about the guitar was perfect including the carrying case it came in. Absolutely no complaints and I would love to buy from this shop again.

Mon magasin préféré depuis ma jeunesse, un service de qualité, des bons conseils, aucune pression d'achat, le staff prend le temps de parler musique, du matériel pour tout les goûts et styles. Une fierté familiale!
