These beautiful guitars pay homage to the Selmer and Maccaferri guitars of the early 20th century. Made famous by the legendary Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of Paris. They are all solid wood, are a joy to play, and look and sound like the real thing, right down to the excellent reproduction of the original tailpiece.

What the Reviews Say

Guitar Buyer: "Gold Stars: Great Sound, Great playability, Superb Value for Money. Black Marks: At this price, none"

John Jorgenson (who plays Django Reinhardt in the movies!): The one thing that has been missing has been a high quality gypsy jazz guitar at an affordable price - until now....The D250M is just an all-around great guitar, not even considering the price.

Guitar Player (USA): These gitanes provide affordable, toneful passports to the world of Gypsy jazz guitar.

The Gitane & Django strings from DAVE MANN MUSIC are designed with the bright jazz sound in mind. The Gitane are a Nickel wound string on Round cores, while the Django are either Nickel or Silver Plated Copper. Variations in core-to-wrap ratios between the Gitane and Django series give slight tonal differences between the two. Although they were designed with this style of instrument and style of playing in mind, they suit any standard guitar if you are looking for a bright sounding, low tension set. Also available in Phosphor Bronze upon request.

At DAVE MANN MUSIC we supply strings designed to produce the authentic tone achieved by the masters of Gypsy Jazz and Swing
