Wow, I love this guitar. It IS drop dead gorgeous!!!
And sounds amazing. It is a Gitane DG-350. This is Definately for the warmer player, however I find that it rings through fantastically. It really does cut. Im sure it doesnt cut as much as an oval hole or something, but I personally love the warm balance it has. Michael I know you said that it sound more flat top like, but I still really think it cuts very nicely, and to my ears I really appreciate the warmth. Aslo (being a newer Gypsy player) I have been shaping up my tone alot (Thanks to Michaels Gypsy Picking book) and find that truly the player makes the tone. Anyway Ill post some pictures later, but Thank you Django Books and Michael for selling this guitar ( I know there are few vendors in America who have them) But I am extremely satisfied. I recommend this to all gypsy players looking for a guitar in the $1000 range that like the D hole warmth with a little extra warmth on top, but sound like a genuine gypsy guitar. Before heading up to the $2000 I think this is one of the best there are. Anyway just really excited and wanted share my experience. Later guys!

Yes, darker but not as loud. More like a flatop IMO.
