Which gypsies invented gypsy jazz?
How did Django Reinhardt develop gypsy jazz guitar?
Maccaferri and Selmer style guitars?
How are Gypsy Jazz guitars set up?
Gypsy guitarists seem to like the action set at 3 mm stratight across, with a light bridge.
What kind of strings should I use for Gypsy Jazz?
Gypsy guitar players generally use light strings wound in silver plated copper. These strings give the right edge. Brands used are headed up by Argentine, followed by Galli, John Pearse Nuages, Dell Arte, GHS Gypsy Strings, Saga Gitane strings (a budget alternative), and Newtone. Generally standard acoustic guitar strings don’t work well on Gypsy guitars for players seeking a traditional sound, although the instruments play fine.
Jazz guitar players vary in their choice depending on whether they’re playing acoustic or acoustic electric, where the pickup must see the strings. Choices are legion. We like EXP 13s for acoustic work.
