Large 1940's replica jazz acoustic guitar, solid spruce top, laminated maple back and sides. Good jumbo frets, should last some time.

I own the Saga Gitane D500 and DG255, its better sounding than these two guitars,louder and brighter with a great cigar cutting sound.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Nice low action, beautiful flawless finish. The moustache was not attached but the guy i bought this guitar from is a professional luthier so no problems here.
Reliability/Durability
:

As with all wood guitars some care is required, laminate woods tend to add some strength to guitars and whilst solid woods are preferred in most style guitars its not such a big issue with gypsy style guitars, as mentioned the top is solid.

Originally purchased from Ivor Mairants, their after sales service totally sucks big time. I'll never purchase another guitar from these guys. I did have some repair/replacement issues which they did not resolve and so i had to go somewhere else to get my guitar issues resolved/replaced.
Overall Rating

A great guitar, for traditional 1930's style jazz and with plenty of contemporary options for those who want to play in the guitars idiom.
