Hello and welcome to Manouche-Guitars.com. In association with Vintage Strings we are currently producing what many believe to be the most authentic sounding 'Model Jazz Selmer' replica guitar available today.
Using the original Selmer drawing plans, over 30 years listening and playing experience of classic Selmer guitars, and first class manufacturing techniques, we have faithfully reproduced not only the sound and look of the original Selmer Model Jazz guitar, but also the 'feel' of the instrument.

Authenticity has been our motivation from day one and no detail has been overlooked in the making of these beautiful instruments:

'Modele Jazz' specifications at a glance:
Rosewood Laminated Back and Sides
Solid Spruce Top
Tuning Gear as Original Selmer
Moustache Bridge
Ebony Finger Board
Traditional Brass Tailpiece
Bone Nut with Zero Fret
Quality Hiscox Hard Case Included
Left handed guitar available to order
Sale Items... special offers - deals - click here!

  "So, how does it sound?"...

  Anyone who has ever heard or played an original Selmer guitar will know only too well the rich and unique sound that it
  projects. The Manouche replica is as close as you are going to get to the original, and at a fraction of the price!

  Click here  to read comments from our happy customers!

  We could write paragraphs trying to describe the sound, but your ears will do a much better job! Please download the sound
  files on the mp3 downloads page for each guitar.

  All guitars are now produced by luthier Jeongwoo Cho.

New Endorsement

More than seven decades after the innovations of the Quintette du Hot Club de France, featuring guitar virtuoso Django Reinhardt, combos called Hot Clubs carry on the gypsy jazz sound around the globe in Tokyo, San Francisco, Seattle, Sweden, Norway, Austria, and many other locales.
None, however, offers a fresher take on the tradition than does the Hot Club of Detroit, led by fast-fingered Reinhardt disciple Evan Perri. www.hotclubofdetroit.com

 

Paul Vernon-Chester

Paul endorses Manouche Guitars in the UK.

He is running another Gypsy guitar workshop on July 18th.
