April 22nd, 2012 Deal Finder Like its namesake, the Gitane DG-330 Modèle Jorgenson “Tuxedo” Jazz Guitar is the perfect star of any “Black Tie” affair. With high-end features like a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a “U”-shaped mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard, and an ebony mustache bridge paired with elegant looks, the Gitane DG-330 Modele Guitar an brilliant choice for gypsy jazz players. Comments John Jorganson, ” I have wanted to have a black Selmer-style guitar made for a number of years, ever since seeing one in a photo from the ’50s made in France. The lines of these guitars are so elegant; I thought it would be very classy to have one all in black and white, like a tuxedo. The result is way beyond my expectations, it looks absolutely stunning—sometimes I like to just sit and look at it! So far I have used it on the boards, and in the studio for recording some of my new CD. It has a very clear tone, and it sustains very well. The intonation all around the neck is exceptional too! “—
