Gitane D-500 Maccaferri-Style Gypsy Jazz Guitar
D Hole - Only $677 - hardshell case $ lower 48 shipping
List: $950
This is it, a classic Selmer-Maccaferri style jazz guitar at a
quite reasonable price. This is a good quality reproduction of
the originals.
“You cannot purchase any other guitar in the world for several
hundred bills that will sound better than the D500.”
“Tons of tone, very loud and articulate. The sound is VERY
strong in the midrange and trebles, the basses are O.K.”
“The sound of this guitar is really the standout. It is addictive
to play it, since it's so fun to just listen to the huge tone.
Extremely Django-esque, and perfect for gypsy jazz . . . .
Traditionally, the D-hole models are considered the "rhythm"
guitars of gypsy jazz, but it does great for lead, too.”
“Echoey, resonator-like harmonics are possible. Very unique
sound.”
“With silverwound "correct" strings (Galli ball end 10's made in
Italy)- HOLY CRAP!!! This is the best sounding acoustic I
have ever owned. And I've owned many. It is also the
LOUDEST acoustic I've ever heard!!!!”
“I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. After getting this, I
have sold EVERYTHING else. I fully expect this to be my last
guitar.’”
“For the price, this guitar is truly in a class of it's own. They
could have sold it for $2000 and it would have been worth
every penny.”
