Here's Killy's site. Anyone know if there is an e-mail addresws for non-FB users?
I liked mine, the neck was really thin though. They were aiming for the transition crowd people switching over from electric

I am going to be listing my Altamira for sale soon. I don't want to sell it but I have a deal with the wife. If one comes in another must go. If one of my arch tops moves, I will likely take it off the market. Both guitars have their own sound and characteristics and they are both great but I have to keep the home fires burning.
Which model? Altamira are Sweeeet
It's an M-10. I love it but have given the Gitane a slight edge. The Altamira is probably more authentic sounding, but there is something about the Gitane I just can't put down.
If I could get away with it, I would keep both.
I understand, I’ve had the maple gitane. It’s edgy AF lol
cuts like a knife, and I remember really being able to rip on the neck.
i’ll take a look at your M T£N, that sucker is solid wood top-notch
Another GC find. A friend here spotted an early Dell'Arte long scale D hole, made by Luis Sevilliano, $1350. He passed on that one but just picked up birdseye maple Altamira with these new fancy enclosed brass tuners they started using. $1100 and was listed under classical guitara, made by Hanson Brothers with no mention of gypsy jazz or Altamira in the listing. I was really impressed with him finding that one. It's almost like some kind of internal joke they're running.
The birdseye maple Altamira is a nice guitar. I played one in Melbourne last year at Gerry's Guitar Gallery and I thought it was great. It's pretty too. It was 2800 AUD so fully priced, but a quick check shows it's been reduced a little now. The finish was lovely - thin polish on the top. The tone was well rounded and quite full, not the loudest but not bad either. 1100 USD is excellent!! Your friend has done well. Here's the link to the one in Melbourne - https://guitargallery.com.au/products/altamira-t-birdseye-gypsy-jazz-guitar/
