For Sale: Gitane D-500 Nylon string

Shawn

I've listed my Gitane D-500 that I converted to Nylon string on ebay (it will accept Argentines as well without any conversion). It has a crack, which has been there forever, but does not affect the playability. It's also an early model #60 with the Satin finish (I don't think the top is Sitka) it actually looks more like European Spruce...it has that nice antique yellow-brown patina it has aquired over the years. If you take the bridge off you can see the original finish was really light, and has darkened with age. It sounds like a cross between a classical and a Gypsy Jazz guitar, with a loud voice.

It's on ebay right now:

I wasn't able to sell this guitar the first time, so I've relisted it for only $250 or you can use the "Buy it Now" for $300. I'm needing to get rid of this guitar so if anyone is interested you can either bid or make me an offer and we'll work something out.

New listing for this guitar:

hey would you be able to record some audio or video of the guitar? I would like to hear what it sounds like with the nylon strings.
