A beautiful vintage French Gypsy jazz guitar, believed to have been made in the 1950s at the prestigious Mirecourt School of Stringed Instrument Making in France.

This is a lovely, well-crafted vintage instrument with no maker’s label, brand or model attached. Its history, craftsmanship and character make it a particularly appealing find for players and collectors of vintage French guitars.

The guitar was discovered by its previous owner in an antique shop while travelling through Paris. It was subsequently brought back to Australia, where it has been carefully looked after ever since.

Currently strung with Argentine strings, the guitar plays and sounds beautifully, with the warmth and character you would hope for from an instrument of this vintage.

The guitar comes with its original hang tag from the Paris store, which attributes it to the Mirecourt School in France and dates it to approximately the 1950s. While the exact maker remains unknown, the instrument appears to have been preserved in largely original condition, with no obvious signs of modification.
