Gitane Gypsy D-500

The Gitane D-500 represents the first great Gypsy Jazz guitar designed in 1930 and refined by Gitane for even greater playability and tone. Its large D-shape soundhole and classical guitar appointments set the style for all similar guitars to follow and its characteristic tone became the standard for all Gypsy Jazz music.
