Here is a 50s gypsy jazz manouche guitar from Antoine Di Mauro ready to be played.
Nice dry sound. Great for 'la pompe'.
Reasonable price for a great vintage instrument.
Video clip added.
As I write this, you won't find a cheaper one nor one with better action vs bridge height than this one on reverb.

This is the round hole 12 fret to the body 'Django' model.
As pictures will show, it has had some fair use as expected given its age and quality.
The tuners are probably not original but certainly period correct.
It looks as though the binding has been replaced. Frets have a good amount of life left in them (see pics).
It came without bridge or strings so i fitted some Savarez Argentine 11-46 and a bridge i had which is not strictly the 'gypsy jazz' kind but works fine. It can easily be swapped anyway.
With a bridge height of 22mm, the action is great: a bit less than 2.5mm at the high E and 3.5 at the low E.

That means ** No need of neck reset anytime soon ! ** which is a major plus compared to many similar guitars out there.

The scale length is closer to 660mm than 650mm if i judge by where i had to set the bridge for intonation.

Should you have any question, please shoot me a message.

I ship worldwide.

Thanks for looking.
