Gitane D-500

Saga did a nice job of creating the warm, balanced sound that the original 12 fret Selmer Maccafferis have. You'd be hard pressed to find a professional who would use this guitar for lead as the 12 fret neck limits high fret access and the shorter scale doesn't produce the biting lead lines that the longer scale guitars have. However, the warmth and balance of this model make it an excellent Gypsy jazz rhythm guitar and it can even be used in other styles like rock and folk.
