From the complicated playing techniques, to the limited availability of truly affordable instruments necessary to capture that proper Gypsy tone, the obstacles to learning how to play Gypsy Jazz music can easily discourage the seasoned guitarist, let alone a beginner. To make it even easier to begin this exciting musical journey, Saga Musical Instruments and Gitane guitars introduce the new GJ-15 Cigano Student Gypsy Jazz guitar! Its short-scale, D-hole design gives it that characteristic deep bass response and incredible volume making it the perfect rhythm instrument. Value, tone, playability and workmanship will meet or exceed any players expectations.
My son is loving his Cigano "Gypsy Jazz" guitar. We searched long and hard and this was is a great guitar that he could afford. He brings it everywhere...busking in a local small town and having a blast with his friends. Thank you for a great guitar at a great price! Little Django's coming!

Just got this and although I'm hardly an expert in the genre or seasoned with this type of guitars (or any acoustics for that matter), I have to say, for the price, it's one of the better made guitars I've ever played.
Good craftsmanship (though the piece of plastic on the tailpiece looks like meh), and a beautiful finish, especially on the sides.
As far as playability goes, it's also a beaut. This guitar just rings. It's loud. The action (stock) was nice and the neck is fairly fast. Stays in tune.
Obviously, if I'm this impressed with the Cigano, I'd probably die of joy if I ever get to play a high end one, but this is fast becoming my favorite in my collection.
greatest VPD!

Pros: Value per Dollar
it's a cannon. the relatively low quality is totally offset by the performance and Value per Dollar ratio. similar to having a 409 engine in a Hyundai.
recall Joseph's guitar in the video "Le Hot Jazz"? you could treat your CG-15 like that one evidently was treated, and not feel bad, because it's so cheap!
