Value For Money :
Excellent
Model with a Gypsy (3rd generation) version smallmouth, it is handmade by the workshop Castelluccia the image of the Selmer 30s. It has a spruce soundboard folded up with a barrage of three crossbars image Castelluccia some 50 years and the famous Selmer # 503 that belonged to Django Reinhardt.
The head is reported as the original Selmer guitar is equipped with a new siglé tailpiece with ebony plate.
The handle has a comfort game with maximum width at Nut 44mm and 21mm thick at the first box. It is equipped with a double-action trussrod, an ebony fingerboard with 21 frets and radius.
UTILIZATION
Playing comfort is optimal thanks to an optimized handle a curve, the guitar is lightweight and made with fine woods such as ebony, walnut and rosewood from Brazil.
It is equipped with an easel with an ingenious system of removable ebony nut to make adjustments heights strings without having to intervene at the base of the bridge (which is very handy).
SOUNDS
The sound is very balanced, full and well-typed, always in the spirit of Selmer guitars. The guitar is powerful and throws a lot while being very percussive. It allows for the pump and the chorus without restriction.
It is therefore very versatile.
OVERALL OPINION
I have this guitar for about 4 months, and I must say it surprises me every day as it evolves daily acoustically.
Its price / quality ratio is unbeatable for me. Having tried many guitars in this budget during my research, I have to say that few are likely to compete. To find the equivalent in terms of finish and especially his I had to try some guitars worth more than double!
Anyway, I can not recommend this model to all guitarists who wish to practice gypsy guitar without breaking the bank.
Personally, I can not thank enough the luthier Castelluccia put at our disposal such instruments which for me represent the excellence that can exist on the market. If it again, I would do the same choice without hesitation.
