DescriptionMore than any of the notes played on it, the biggest tale of this guitar is its history. This painstaking replica is of the Selmer Maccaferri guitar that defined the famous sound of jazz manouche in 1930s France. The model for this actually belonged to the father of gypsy jazz himself, Django Reinhardt, and was gifted by his wife to guitar legend, Les Paul.
