The guitar has a very sweet, warm and rich sound not as harsh as the usual gipsy guitars, a lovely and unique tone and resonance. It has a lot of volume, strong projection and especially colourful midrange tones, that support wonderfully the cantabile of melody tones. Its neck is thinner than a traditional gipsy guitar, which makes it very confortable to play. It comes with a pickup installed by the author which sounds warm and jazzy. It is very comfortable to play. Its label is dated & signed by the maker.The guitar is in very good condition with only minor traces of wear.
