DJANGO MODEL -
This is the most popular guitar in the range of Manouche guitars made by the Mateos family, and for good reason. The Django model offers exception value for money in this price range. It is made using a combination of European spruce top and Ziricote back and sides with gentle pliage (arching). Ziricote arguably has the closest grain resemblance to Brazilian Rosewood (now illegal) of any tonal wood and is visually stunning with a very fine texture and high density.
The refined finishing's of the Django model are eye catching but the it is the blend of quality tones and subtle high end that make it a real dream to play. This will be your lifelong guitar.
It also comes with an exceptional LC pickup.
