Project Description

Manouchka

Inspired by the work of Mario Maccaferri, this manouche model available in petite or grande bouche is crafted with a back and sides lamination of solid wood and high end quarter sawn veneers giving the instrument great projection and power while retaining a warmth and sensitivity that only solid wood can procure.

Equipped with a tailpiece and traditional Selmer-style machine heads, this guitar has the unmistakable look of the legendary model.

Like all guitars in our line, this guitar is made to order and customizable with your personal specifications and choice of wood. Several amplification options are also available.
