From Pagelli:

Being exposed to Django Reinhardt’s Gypsy Jazz is a revelatory experience for any guitarist.
So when we were invited to the Django Reinhardt Memorial Festival in Augsburg in 2006, Germany, we had to build a Pagelli tribute.

In 2003 we already made some sketches for a gypsy style… we took these ideas back and worked out a timeless, classy design. Et Voilá – the GITANE NOUVEAUX!

At this Festival we introduced our open headstock to the acoustic world for the first time – seen now on many high end guitars.
What did Django’s grandnephew David Reinhardt say?
This is the only Gypsy-style guitar that I’d play!

This guitar has several cracks in the back and sides, shown in photos. The original tailpiece broke, causing damage to the top, near the tailpiece. There is a replacement tailpiece currently installed, and functions perfectly.
