Made by gifted builder of Selmer Macaferri style stringed instruments, Louis Patenotte, in the historically and legendary master craftsman community in France. Louis has passed and his son Claude has retired so these treasures are becoming rarer as time goes by. Surely their value will climb as well with no more coming from the hands of Louis and Claude.

                Comfortable Size, Easy to Play, Highly Collectible

There is a 2 inch hairline crack that was professionally repaired (glue in the seam), invisible to the eye and totally immobile on the side facing the player. Not an issue but mentioned for full disclosure.

This is loud, tone rich, amazing projection, joy to play gypsy guitar. Lovingly constructed by a maker for the masses who felt that fantastic instruments should also be affordable. Those who don't have $50,000 to spend on a Selmer instrument will have the time of their lives playing this Patenotte.

This is a fantastic sounding acoustic instrument that can also be upgraded to your hearts content or left in it's current easy to play pristine all original condition. It is hard to put this one down once you start playing her.

So, if you've always wanted a collectible affordable gypsy guitar that sounds fantastic, here she is! Louis is no longer with us and his son Claude stopped making instruments in 2010 so these will become even more in demand and rare as more time passes.

Act now before you miss your chance at a fun, affordable, collectible instrument.

I'll include a nice gig bag and an new set of silk/steel Gypsy Jazz strings to make sure you are ready for your first gig and at your best!

Looking forward to hearing from you
Play while you can,

Lee
