DG-255
Price: £539
Sure to be popular with any Gypsy Jazz guitar player. The
gitane DG-255 is a faithful recreation of the Selmer-style
jazz guitar that replaced the original Maccaferri design of
the early 1930's. Easy recognizable in early photos of
Django! With it's longer scale length is a breeze to play
and the smaller soundhole gives the guitar it's
characteristic snap, percussive and focused sound required
by afficionados. There is nothing else on the market that
even comes close. Let Gitane Put the Gypsy in Your Soul!
