Recording King GG-42

Selmer-Maccaferri D-Hole Gypsy Jazz Guitar

The Recording King GG-42 is a Selmer-Maccaferri style D-Hole (Grande Bouche) gypsy jazz guitar designed to deliver the distinctive tone of traditional Gypsy Jazz. Featuring a solid spruce top, laminated rosewood back and sides, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge, it produces a warm, harmonically rich sound with outstanding acoustic projection.

The Grande Bouche (D-Hole) design emphasizes deep bass response, full-bodied mids, and dynamic responsiveness, making it ideal for traditional La Pompe rhythm playing while maintaining excellent clarity and articulation for lead work.

Its mahogany neck with an adjustable truss rod, 670 mm scale length, and 44.5 mm nut width provide exceptional playing comfort, accuracy, and tuning stability. The traditional Maccaferri-style brass tailpiece completes the instrument's classic gypsy jazz appearance.

The Recording King GG-42 offers one of the best value-for-money options for musicians looking to enter the world of Gypsy Jazz with a reliable instrument, authentic tone, and quality craftsmanship.
