Altamira Gypsy Jazz M is a Selmer-Maccaferri-style gypsy guitar designed for discerning musicians seeking a characterful, expressive instrument that stays true to the manouche jazz tradition. Thoughtfully crafted in the spirit of the historic models, it stands out for its meticulous handmade construction and selection of premium tonewoods.
It features a solid European spruce top, renowned for its power and responsiveness, paired with laminated flamed maple back and sides, offering both striking aesthetics and a bright, articulate tone. The mahogany neck ensures stability and comfort, while the ebony fingerboard delivers precision for fast phrasing and tight rhythm work.
With a 670 mm scale length, 40 cm body width, 9.84 cm depth, and a 1 11/16" nut width, it follows the typical gypsy jazz dimensions, enhancing attack, volume, and articulation. The natural satin finish highlights the wood grain for a refined, understated look.
Built in the Altamira workshops under the direction of master luthier Hanson Yao, the M is a faithful homage to the Maccaferri legacy, and comes complete with a fitted Altamira hard case. A top-tier choice for gypsy jazz players seeking a highly responsive and visually distinctive instrument.
