Wow, that looks wierd.
I dont like it very much :?
I think its photoshopped !

I hope Gitane actually releases something similar to that. I would like to buy a nylon-strung Gypsy guitar, but the prices have always discouraged me.

Maybe MarioMaccaferriRules knows more about it?... he posted this pic on Manoucheries and already mentioned the prototype a few months ago.

This model will release later this year. In fact they might have released it already at the Frankfurt Musikmesse show in march. As for a price who knows yet. Hopefully they'll have these at summer NAMM.

Did anybody see the electric thin-line (shallow body) gitane Saga had at NAMM this year?

gitpicker

Here's what I was talking about. This pic is from Gryphon Music's site from Winter NAMM this year. I remember they (Saga) were working on a thinline Gitane with a pickup. Anybody play this?

Stackabones

Thanks for the info. Yeah, maybe MarioMaccaferriRules will drop by and give us further details.

That thinline is pretty cool. 8)

One day somebody should organize a pilgrimage where we all would be given the chance to kiss the ass of Saga's Product Manager...

P.S.
In the meantime, should somebody get close enough to him, please whisper in his ear the word "Weissenborn"...

If any body gets to try this model i'd be interested in how it compares to a regular classical guitar.
