Incoming NGD/ Gypsy Jazz Tomfoolery
« on: October 18, 2011, 06:57:33 PM »


I ordered one of these 2 days ago, Now I'm sitting here looking at the DHL package tracker pressing F5 every few seconds in the hopes that this will make it arrive faster.

It wasn't a mistake, it was chromaticism, I swear.

It arrived just in time for the fest I was attending.

It's much better than I thought it would be for the price, and it's remarkably loud for it's size.

Very cool, I love the look of these.  I can't play acoustic or jazz for toffee though!

Looks quite nice, hope you'll enjoy it.  8)

I once had a beat up to hell and back Di Mauro, was a quite cool guitar despite it's sorry state, but it was mostly gathering dust (I'm definitly not able to play jazz) so I sold it at a fairly low pric to a young Django fan that really deserved something better than the cheapo cr@p he was playing by that time.  I'm glad it's now played by someone that really enjoys it (very talented guy, and very humble too).

Really loving it thus far.

 Di Mauro's are bloody gorgous imo he's a lucky guy.

Oh I like that. I occasionally try to learn some Django on my acoustic but I've never got close. Maybe I should give it another go. Lovely guitar, hope your Minor Swing rocks hard. :)

Mine wasn't near as beautiful - but still a minor piece of art, indeed.  The point is, I had it for almost peanuts, barely used it, and the guy really deserved it. Nuff said.

Fair play to you.

@Andrew W
Thanks mate, the style's great fun to learn...once you get the accursed rest stroke down.

Found this vid of Joscho Stephan playing the same model of ~400 dollar guitar alongside a chap playing a 14000 dollar Beniditto.
Some brain melting technique going on up in here.
