I just went last night to see Dorado Schmitt one of the top guys in this style in the world. I was pleasantly surprised to see him playing a Gitane DG-250M!!!!

I'm guessing that's probably all the endorsement I need :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion kingpatzer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gitane-dg-250m/#post-134298 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gitane-dg-250m/#post-134251 Sun, 23 Oct 2005 07:55:54 +0000
The construction of the original Selmer guitars -- which incorporated unusual features such as secondary sound chambers -- was very different from that of these modern Sagas. Not that they are bad guitars, but they seem to be more of a visual statement. I know it's not in the spirit of the whole Gypsy guitar thing, but I would consider saving up for a decent, used acoustic archtop instead of one of these. Many of an archtop's sonic characteristics are similar to those of the original Selmers -- strong acoustical volume with thumping attack and not much sustain.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gitane-dg-250m/#post-134251 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gitane-dg-250m/#post-134188 Sat, 22 Oct 2005 20:44:22 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion kingpatzer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gitane-dg-250m/#post-134188 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gitane-dg-250m/#post-134170 Sat, 22 Oct 2005 17:52:14 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gitane-dg-250m/#post-134170 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gitane-dg-250m/#post-134166 Sat, 22 Oct 2005 17:42:31 +0000 Harmony Central User Reviews.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Musenfreund https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gitane-dg-250m/#post-134166 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gitane-dg-250m/#post-12638 Sat, 22 Oct 2005 16:46:12 +0000
So I've been looking at selmer style guitars. Does anyone know anything about the Gitane brand? Specifically the DG-250M? It looks like a pretty nice guitar at a reasonable price (I'd love a Dell'Arte Swing, but my wife woudl kill me if I spent that much money on yet another guitar!!)

Anyone ever play one?]]> Guitar Players Discussion kingpatzer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gitane-dg-250m/#post-12638
