Stringphonic Advanced Model – #252 (Selmer‑Style Gypsy Jazz Guitar)

Stringphonic Advanced Model – #252 (Selmer‑Style Gypsy Jazz Guitar, ~2022, Japan)

This is a high‑quality Selmer‑style guitar built by the renowned Japanese luthiers at Stringphonic.

These instruments are not mass‑produced, are rarely available on the used market, and are widely regarded for their traditional Selmer character, quick response, and strong projection.

I purchased this guitar new in late 2022, and it has been lightly played at home. It remains in excellent, near‑mint condition, with only minimal signs of handling. No cracks, repairs, or structural issues.

Specifications:

• Selmer‑style body with traditional dimensions
• Solid spruce top
• Brazilian Rosewood (laminate) back and sides
• Walnut neck
• Ebony fingerboard
• Selmer‑style tailpiece
• 670 mm scale length
• 14‑fret neck
• Floating ebony bridge
• Nickel hardware
• Hand‑applied finish
• Traditional Selmer geometry and voicing

This guitar is known for its quick attack, focused midrange, and excellent projection—ideal for both rhythm and lead in Gypsy jazz settings.

This particular example is lively, responsive, and has the characteristic clarity and punch. The setup is comfortable and fast, with clean frets and no buzzing.

Condition:

• Excellent / Near‑Mint
• Lightly played, well maintained
• No cracks, repairs, or structural issues
• Minimal handling wear
• Clean frets with negligible wear

It includes a foam jumbo case that is lightweight, protective, and fits the instrument well.

This guitar is difficult to obtain, with long wait times and limited availability. Used examples in this condition are uncommon.

If you’ve been looking for a top‑tier Selmer‑style instrument with authentic tone and modern reliability, this is an excellent opportunity!
