"Satisfying recreation of a 1932 big mouth Selmer Maccaferri. Huge warm sound and excellent playability" - DG500 reviewed in Guitar Player Magazine.

The "Gitane guitar bears testament to the high quality of contemporary Chinese products. Staying close to the original blueprint, it plays well, sounds good and best of all retails for under £500. It's without doubt the best bang for buck here." Guitar Buyer Selmer-Style Guitar Roundup, Issue 38 October 2004.

A great-value, fitted hard case is available and we strongly recommend this is bought with the guitar.
