Loving the new DG255. I have a DG500 which is great but I couldn't get used to the wider neck which is why I went for the DG255. It arrived packed very well, I was a bit worried about it getting knocked about but it got here in one piece. I got a bigtone bridge pickup put in. I'm amazed how much it sounds like the guitar unplugged only louder through my AER. It took a bit longer to get here than the 2-3 weeks but I put that down to Djangobooks getting more popular so no worries there. Just a...

Wow, what a great guitar! This is one bang-for-the-buck instrument! Factory settings were very nice. The only, and obvious, downside was the factorystrings, but they will almost always be of poor quality unless the guitarcompany has some sort of deal with a stringmaking company. The whole quality of the rest of the instrument is flawless at this pricerange. Nice finish, great sound(!!), sturdy built, stays in tune well. Thanks a bunch to Michael for outstanding customer service(quick responce, i...

Gitane DG-255

The DG-255 has the classic Selmer proportions and wood choices most commonly sought after by professional Gypsy jazz guitarists. For that reason this is one of the most popular models, especially for students on a budget. If you like a darker tone and are less concerned about volume and bark, then this model will suit you well. It's rather shallow neck angle and flatter top gives it a more balanced tone. For a more aggressive sound with more highend response, check out the Cigano GJ-10.

DG255

Pros: Amazing guitar, sound and playability

Cons: A few wood shavings, no real biggie

Loving the new DG255. I have a DG500 which is great but I couldn't get used to the wider neck which is why I went for the DG255. It arrived packed very well, I was a bit worried about it getting knocked about but it got here in one piece. I got a bigtone bridge pickup put in. I'm amazed how much it sounds like the guitar unplugged only louder through my AER. It took a bit longer to get here than the 2-3 weeks but I put that down to Djangobooks getting more popular so no worries there. Just a tiny moan about the wood shavings from the drilling, left inside the guitar. Other than that I can't complain. Playing it so much that when I'm not playing it I'm thinking about playing it. Now if only my technique would improve
