AJL Gypsy-Fire Model (Favino-style guitar)
LOUD & FAT
Gypsy-Fire is a Larger bodied, Favino-style gypsyguitar. It has that typical nasal sound of old Favino guitar, with lots of bass, so it feels louder than a Selmer-style guitar. With upgraded top bracing, it has more punch on high strings than Favino guitars used to have.
WHY IT SOUNDS DIFFERENT
Gypsy-Fire bracing is based on the "Favino" bracing. It is quite a different sound compared to the Selmer, and the difference comes mostly from that. Also the soundbox has more air volume.
LARGER BODY
If You're tall, larger body size gives you better playing position.
