Selmer-Maccaferri Oval-Hole Gypsy Jazz Guitar

The Recording King GG-39 is a Selmer-Maccaferri style Petite Bouche (Oval-Hole) gypsy jazz guitar designed to deliver the classic bright, dynamic, and articulate tone that made Django Reinhardt's Gypsy Jazz legendary. Thanks to its traditional oval soundhole, this guitar offers outstanding projection, fast attack, and precise note definition, making it ideal for expressive lead playing and melodic solo work.

Built with a solid spruce top, laminated rosewood back and sides, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard, the GG-39 combines carefully selected tonewoods, traditional construction, and dependable performance. Its 670 mm scale length, adjustable truss rod, and traditional Maccaferri-style brass tailpiece provide excellent playability, tuning stability, and the unmistakable sound of authentic gypsy jazz guitars.

Compared to Grande Bouche (D-Hole) models, the Oval-Hole design delivers greater emphasis on the upper-mid and treble frequencies, tighter bass response, and exceptional projection, making it the preferred choice for players seeking a bright, focused tone with outstanding clarity for solo performances.

Offering exceptional value for money, the Recording King GG-39 is an excellent choice for musicians, enthusiasts, and professionals looking to enter the world of Gypsy Jazz with an instrument that combines authentic character, traditional styling, and impressive performance.
