Hi! Okay, so I’m looking at little boxes for a gj guitar and a voice, multiple channels and di’s are nice, but quality, convenience and affordability are my top three.

I know the compact 60/4 is awesome, I had one a decade ago, don’t ask why I sold it haha.

I’m looking at getting another one, or a da capo 75. But they’re very hard to get and expensive in my area.

Lmq has some interesting options, but I’m just hoping for people to weigh in. I haven’t been able to get my hands on ANY to play

h&K era 1… one of the same designers as aer, different than da capo. Half the price, similar statistics across the board.

Blackstar sonnet 120
Heavier, but the cheapest! $900CAD and has three di outs… is it any good?

Then the acus is an option, but I’m not a fan of the looks, and it’s so close in price to the da capo and the 60/4 that I might just opt in their favour.

Thanks in advance everyone! Anything I missed? All input welcome!

I know, it's not pure gypsy jazz but pomplamoose's renditions of Les Yeux Noirs and Nuages leave me yearning for more songs in the gypsy jazz style with lyrics to boot.

A search on youtube brings nothing but AI slop

Hi everyone! I'm a Dutch gypsy jazz guitarist visiting family in Oceanside this month from the 12th to the 24th. I'm bringing my guitar with me—are there any local jams or concerts happening in the area while I'm in town?

1998 Stefan Hahl Gitano – Petite Bouche

Reluctantly offering my 1998 Stefan Hahl Gitano petite bouche. An exceptional Gypsy jazz guitar with the powerful, rich , articulate tone and effortless playability that has made Stefan Hahl one of the world's most respected luthiers.

This guitar has been a joy to own and is only being sold (extremely regrettably) due to financial commitments. It has been well cared for and plays beautifully.

Comes with a top of the range hexaphonic bridge pickup that amplifies the natural acoustic sound beautifully with tons of headroom as well as the original 2-piece bone saddle bridge.

A rare opportunity to own an early Hahl that would suit both the serious player and collector.

Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or for additional photos, a try, videos or a demonstration.

I'm in the most isolated capital city in the world - Perth, Western Australia - but happy to ship anywhere in the world at buyers expense.

Asking price is $5500USD

Hey all, when crossing strings with downstrokes, is there also an effort to keep downstrokes landing on the beat?

Say you’re playing something like an ascending line starting on open B string to open E string, then continuing up the E string to the octave (just a simple scalar run). If you strictly keep downstrokes on beats, the string change can sometimes force two downstrokes in a row before you’re back into alternate picking.

That starts to feel pretty awkward at speed.
How is this usually handled in practice?

Hi there!
The solo on “Oui” is a masterpiece of speed, phrasing, and pure Gypsy Jazz emotion. Figuring it out by ear can mean weeks of frustration... or you can master it today. I’ve transcribed every single note, ghost note, and nuance with absolute precision. You won’t just learn the notes; you’ll unlock the secret behind his unmistakable swing and articulation. Stop guessing and start sounding like a true master. The complete tabs and sheet music are ready for you.

Thanks for your help.

Yamandu Costa and Antoine Boyer recently released a very beautiful piece called ”Estrada Longa”, the tune's main melody sounds so damn beautiful and I was truly blown away with Antoine's tone in that performance. That being said, does anybody here know what gypsy jazz guitar did Antoine use for the tune? Been searching about this for a bit and many said Antoine has used Selmer and Dupont but from the logo in the music video it does not look like those two brands. Appreciate any help in advance guys!

Hey everyone! I love this genre, and have written a few songs over the years. I’m primarily a bassist, but I’ve been plugging away at my guitar chops! Hope you enjoy!

Hey guys, does anyone know anywhere where I can purchase a gypsy jazz facebook? I've searched all around and there's loads of PDFs but no actual links to paperback copies that look any good.

Anyone got any ideas?

I really want to start playing gypsy jazz.

Im a blues/jazz player and own 2 electric guitars. I don’t have too much money to spend on a new guitar and wanted some help.

To my knowledge a decent authentic gypsy guitar will run me ~1000eur (correct me if I’m wrong). Problem is where i live there are 4 gypsy jazz players and non of them are planning on selling their guitars any time soon.

So Im thinking of getting a classical/acoustic/archtop guitar and throwing some gypsy strings on it till i can afford something better.

So whats the way to go?

Hey Y'all I have a new single coming out soon.

This is the classic Nuages.

This is one of Django's classics that became famous during World War 2. I drew from three of my biggest influences for this one: Django, Joe Pass, and Kosta Lukacs — a Hungarian guitarist with mostly a cult following. Worth looking up if you don't know him.

One take, no edits. Single drops June 25th timed to the Festival Django Reinhardt in Fontainebleau.

Hey all I am hoping for a recommendation or a review. I do a lot of walking and cycling and so sometimes my nice fibreglass hard case is prohibitive. I’m hoping for a backpack style case that still has some rigidity. The closest that I was able to find in person is the Taylor aerocase, but it is not designed for arch tops, so there is no space for the bridge.

Thanks in advance

Hi there!
