This finely made Selmer copy was handmade in Dell'Arte's California workshop. This guitar has no relation the later Asian built "Manouche Latcho Drom" guitars which were built from 2008 on. These earlier US made models are quite rare and at well under $2K this one a dream come true! It has been very well taken care of and has only a few scratches and dings. There is just a slight bit of fret wear and it is setup very nicely with 2.8mm action. The tone is very warm with full, rounded lead lines and crunchy sounding chords. Here is an opportunity to upgrade to a handmade instrument at the price most Asian guitars sell for!
