Note from Bruno: To me Vincent Latulippe is Luthier's world best kept secret. The man KNOWS how to build killer guitars. You won't find a more beautiful (sound and looks) 100% handmade gypsy guitar at THIS price anywhere trust me.
Handmade in the small village of Saint-Calixte, near Montreal (Canada) by luthier VINCENT LATULIPPE - see his webpage for bio - (Video below)
The D-hole gypsy is well suited for percussive rhythm. This guitar has been played...so the finish has been perfectly redone in 2016.
It has a lot of projection with the distinct gypsy sound.
The oddity about this guitar is that the neck joints the body at the 12th fret while keeping a longer scale, that is why the bridge seems further back than the usual gypsy guitar. There are no truss rod and the neck kept straight for 12 years. (Detailed measurements available upon request)
