wich "grand bouche" to buy?

rottjung

Damn there is a D-500 on there for 300$!! that's practically free, if only i could get the adverser to answer.

well anyway if i can't get one of the very cheap prized D-500 from there i decided to upgrade to a D320 jorgenson. if i can get one here for ca.700€. I see in the US they come as cheap as 875$ with shipping, give or take +1000$ that's around 700€...
grrr maybe i should just wait till the right one comes my way. all this doubt! funny because my previous one was the opposite, walking into shop, wauw nice guitar! 5min later walking out the shop with my first maccaferri

That's definitely not a DG300. Look closely at the paper label - it's been altered, the zeros in 300 look like they were added on, and in a rather clumsy fashion at that.

This could be an older Saga gypsy guitar. I believe they made some prior to the current line that were quite different.

That is an old Saga DG300 (made prior to and quite different from the model of the same name in their later Gitane line).

These are re-badged Chinese Dell Arte DG-H1's with, I believe, a different tuner/tailpiece...

how do you found out these things

Well, I work in a shop that buys and sells guitars amongst other things. We have had both instruments pass through at different times and when the Dell Arte came in I noticed the similarity and compared it with the 3D 360 degree view Thomaan kindly provide on the link I gave.

When I compared bo Harley Bentons in the Glasgow Hot Club with the two Dell Arte guitars all the hardware was the same - tuners and tailpieces, absolutely identical. Mine was even delivered in a Dell Arte box.

I doubt it.

The guy's misrepresenting it as a John Jorgenson, which it ain't.
