You have me confused with the rich Dana that lives in some alternate universe, ha!
What I meant to say was Favino - style guitar
I guess there was no reason not to say Buco - I am getting a JWC, made in England. I got a lot of information from a player in DC that has not only their Jazz model but also their Favino. He likes both, but told me the Favino was better all round - more bass and mids. So the Favino style is not so hard core Django style. This fellow also owns Duponts and actually likes the JWC better.
Of course everyone's milage may vary, but I feel good about this. The folks at JWC are wonderful to deal with too.
I still can hardly believe I am getting a guitar built for me. Trust me, if you wanted to have a clarinet or sax custom built for you - well, you would have to be that guy in the alternate universe.
I will post pics when I get the guitar, sometime in January.
Yeah congratulations! I'm happy you made a choice. You can't go wrong with JWC from what I hear. I think I recently saw a video here with Lollo Meier happily playing his JWC. If it's good enough for him...

If it is the short clip I am thinking of, that is one of the things that convinced me to go with a JWC. That and tons of other impressive video clips and comments here and elsewhere. Someone on this forum has a Favnio style JWC that he just loves.
You aren't the only one who is happy I made up my mind, I was driving myself mad trying to decide! Now maybe I can relax a bit and get back to practicing.......
