From the Gitano Super de Luxe line,
this jewel of an instrument is “ultimate” in every respect!
The tonewoods and all the other components
are carefully hand-selected from the best materials and are thus the
best of the best. All of the woods exhibit astoundingly unique
character and each tonewood has been allowed to mature for over 70
years to produce truly Master Grade quality.
