Django jazz is alive and well

I have wanted a gypsy jazz guitar for years but the available models were always out of my price range. When I saw the Cordoba Gitano D-5 at Guitar Center for such a great deal I immediately bought one. Of course, it is great for Gypsy-Jazz playing, but I also found it useful for fingerstyle jazz as the neck is a little wider and it's easy to get the fingers (even wearing finger picks) inside the strings. I highly recommend this guitar. It is beautiful to look at and a blast to play. I have about a half-dozen guitars and this one is now my favorite.
