The Gitane DG-300: a gypsy cream!
Manufacturer's description
The DG-300, Modele John Jorgenson! Features include: hand-selected solid spruce used for the top and book-matched, eye-catching Brazilian rosewood used for the back and sides, a custom designed mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard – shaped to John’s specific dimensions, and tortoise style body binding, sound hole rosette and tailpiece insert. Certainly a striking appearance at first glance, though its appearance is just one aspect that makes this guitar so special.
