Here for sale we have a Gitane D-500 in Gloss Natural finish. Made in China, this guitar features an all solid construction comprising a Spruce top, Rosewood back and sides, Mahogany neck and 24 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This instrument is also fitted with Schaller ‘Three on a Plate’ tuning machines.
 
The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with a slim profile that feels slender whilst retaining the sturdy and robust character you would expect from a gypsy jazz style guitar. The 14" radius lends itself to chordal playing and finger picking styles of playing in any register, whilst the Rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing experience under the fingers. The cutaway body shape feels comfortable in the arms providing a connected feeling when playing and also provides unobstructed access to the higher frets.
 
The voice of this instrument is rich and defined, with a bright and saturated low end, focussed midrange and melodic high frequencies. The Spruce top provides a wide dynamic range that feels sensitive to the player's touch. Playing gently will give you the warm mellow tones needed for those quiet moments, whereas putting some snap and power behind your right hand rewards you with the powerful booming tones this guitar is capable of.
