Hahl Gitano Super De Luxe Selmer-Maccaferri Style Guitars:
Since the young age of 17, the Selmer-Maccaferri style guitar has fascinated Stefan Hahl. Having restored many of these legendary guitars from the 1930s, he has had many opportunities to study their secrets extensively. During his apprenticeship, he began to look for ways to perfect the sound of the guitars and improve their design. Today, he is very much in demand as an appraiser and specialist for Selmer-Maccaferri guitars. Hahl´s Gitano Models:
Powerfully voiced for captivating solos with well-balanced tonality for tight accompaniment, these instruments display visual authenticity and easily exceed today's sound expectations.
