Members Stackabones Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 I've wanted one for a while, and Gitane/Saga has finally produced one -- but not at the price point I was hoping for. Looks too glossy anyway. link I thought it would be closer in price to my D500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 There's another company that offers a gut-string gypsy axe, but I don't recall the name at the moment...think it might've been reviewed, a year or two ago, in Acoustic Guitar, though. Seems like the list was around $900, so street was closer to $600, maybe...Brother Paschal may know more. Not much help, I realize... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manouche & Shelly Park have models, and there may be more -- it's been a while since I've looked into these. I can't recall seeing any ever being under $1K. This one may be the most affordable on the market. There was speculation that Gitane would put out something along the lines of the D500 in its price range, but it appears that speculation was just that.

Members GuitarVlog Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 If MF or M123 carry it, then it'll be discounted 30% off list (which is standard for all the Gitane items that they carry). So if $1295 is list, then the online price should drop to $906 (or $899). If you time it right for the Thanksgiving/Christmas discounts, you may get 15-20% off. So you may be able to get it for $719 to $764. That'd be the buying strategy I'd use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Verne Andru Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 A local luthier has built a nylon grande bouche and had it on CL for $500. Great deal for a handmade guitar, but no coin at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Verne Andru Posted July 28, 2010 Members Share Posted July 28, 2010 Very interesting. Do you recall anything about him? Not much. He seems to post on Vancouver CL every 6 months to a year selling off these beautiful hand made guitars he builds [very inexpensively for what they are, I might add], but he doesn't provide many details.

Members Stabby Posted July 28, 2010 Members Share Posted July 28, 2010 This seems like the right thread to post a question! So I just started playing guitar and I'd like to learn gipsy guitar. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a teacher close to me who is good at gipsy. I just have one question: what is the technique for playing the rhythmic background chord parts? How are the strings muted after each chords? In every video I find on gipsy chords, the camera moves away from the right hand part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Verne Andru Posted July 28, 2010 Members Share Posted July 28, 2010 There is a YouTube that goes into Gypsy rhythm technique. IIRC it's a down followed by a quick up then the mute, but I'm sure others will chime in with more knowledge shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with downstrokes only at first and work your way up to the "hickup" or short upstroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
