JWC-Guitars Maccaferri D hole “Concert” Model Curly Walnut Gypsy Jazz Guitar

Here for sale we have a stunning handmade JWC guitar, made by master craftsman Jeongwoo Cho. This is a Maccaferri D hole “concert” model with the original Maccaferri Nylon String with D- hole body shape. The build quality of this guitar is astounding with an incredibly high quality feel.

The neck has a Nut width of 49.5mm and a 12th fret width of 59mm, giving the guitar a wide feel appropriate for this style of guitar. Other features include open gear JWC Classic tuners, 12 fret design and Ebony fingerboard. The truss rod on this guitar is not adjustable.

The body is constructed using Curly Maple for the back and sides and aged Spruce for the top. The result is a warm sounding guitar especially for this style. Gypsy Jazz guitars usually have lots of volume and a lively sound but this one is a little more restrained with good volume and more emphasis on the lower registers.
