MD100 Gypsy Jazz Guitar

These guitars are faithful reproductions of the second generation French Selmer gypsy swing guitars made following the departure of designer Maccaferri. 

In the quest for greater projection and volume the ‘petit bouche’ design, with its distinctive '0' shape soundhole, came to be used by many of the great players of the genre, most notably perhaps by Django Reinhardt himself. 

Maurice Dupont creates exceptional reproductions of these immediately recognisable and distinctive sounding guitars. Beautifully crafted and a joy to play. For French 'authenticity' you can do no better. C'est Magnifique!
