$500US recommendations?

Sleepygypsy

Hi everyone, long time lurker on this forum, been playing the style for a few years and never really had my own decent gypsy guitar. Owned the aria mm20 and a Stagg model but hated them. I see some of the higher end DG models on ebay for around this price used sometimes and was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendations around $500 US

Any help or advice is appreciated, I prefer a used guitar but if you think one of the cheaper ciganos or other brands are worth it, please let me know. Thanks!

If you can get a DG 300 in your price range you should be in good shape. A good D500 is also an excellent choice. The Gitanes will be head and shoulders above the Stagg and Aria. Cigano solid tips ate also a good value in the under 500 range
