ON SALE !!!! FROM FRANCE, CAFÉ AMÉRICAIN GYPSY JAZZ GUITAR
Welcome to the Classical-Workshop in beautiful Arizona. Thank you for taking time to look at this excellent handcrafted Gypsy Jazz guitar from the workshop of Café Américain. SALE SALE SALE!!! We have this guitar on sale as we are moving our operations back to our workshop in France and all remaining stock here must be sold. Starting in the new year we won't ship from America so take this opportunity to have one of our guitars at many hundreds less than normal and much lower than our French prices. LAST ONE for this price!! This is the new absolutely beautiful 2017 Café Américain Manon, Bouche Ovale (oval-mouth,) German Spruce topped guitar for the player that wants the workshop’s top-of-the-line Django/Gypsy Jazz guitar.
Gypsy Jazz evolved in Europe in the 1930s when French Django Reinhardt, playing a Maccaferri/Selmer guitar in smoke-filled Paris clubs, combined his Gypsy playing style with the jazz of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington producing a wonderful and inventive new form of music, Gypsy Jazz; also known as Swing or Jazz Manouche.
Today Jazz Manouche is a growing style of music, the tradition lives, and it is played worldwide.
A little about myself, I go to France two or three times a year (we have a home there,) each spring I attend the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany, (Europe’s largest music trade-show,) to meet guitar makers and see their instruments. Then, I am fortunate enough to travel Europe going to music festivals and guitar workshops looking for guitars.
Café Américain is a small workshop/company from the Correze that produces a few hundred guitars a year, making beautiful, excellent sounding guitars which are an absolute pleasure to play.
The new 2017 Manon model is a full size 670 mm scale guitar, with a deep 4 inch body, measuring 40.5 cm across the lower bout. A big booming guitar.
It comes with the Bouche Ovale 21 fret fretboard with a 14th fret neck-join at the body, this allows for both rhythm and aggressive lead playing. It's design is taken from the first French Maccaferri-Selmer guitar.
Slim neck, easy action, driving sound, with a cutting tone you would expect from a Gypsy Jazz guitar with a solid Spruce top. The sound absolutely booms from this guitar. With its excellent tone and volume the guitar is exceptional for the player who wants to play Swing or Jazz Manouche.
The soundboard is solid German Spruce (high quality wood that gives it its big sound,) and the back and sides are Indian Rosewood (which accounts for the excellent full rounded tone.) Drive this guitar and you will get a big sound or pull back and it will respond with a mellow tone.
The fret-board, floating mustache-bridge, and fret-head are made of Rosewood. It has a felt-padded brass tail-piece and is strung with D'Addario Gypsy-Jazz strings. The guitar is trimmed in beautiful tortoiseshell binding. It comes with a strong rigid foam case, a great case, plus I will include sheets of Gypsy Jazz music both in TAB and standard notation
MRSP in the US, with hard-foam case, is $1,395.00. It is the workshop's top of the line model but we have to sell everything from our US store so we have it ON SALE for $681. THIS IS OUR LAST ONE!!!
