QR Code Link to This Post
This guitar was described by Djangobooks (The USA authority on GJ guitars) as "quality materials and workmanship that you'd expect from a European guitar at a fraction of the price, the construction of this instrument is closely modeled after the original Selmer guitar, with historic features such as a grafted headstock and a heat bent pliage. An instrument with premium woods and traditional building techniques is unheard of in this price range ($3000). Don't miss the opportunity to own something very special for far less!"
