Gitane (2012) DG-310 Lulo Reinhardt Gypsy Jazz Acoustic Guitar - Natural, w/GB

A distinctive signature instrument created for acclaimed guitarist Lulo Reinhardt, the Gitane DG-310 combines the character and projection of a traditional Gypsy jazz guitar with elegant appointments and a strong visual identity of its own.

Part of Gitane’s artist series, the DG-310 was designed in collaboration with Reinhardt, whose playing carries the musical legacy of the legendary Reinhardt family while incorporating Latin, flamenco, jazz, and world-music influences. The guitar follows the classic Selmer/Maccaferri-inspired formula, with a large body, oval soundhole, long scale, and floating bridge delivering the immediate attack, strong projection, and articulate response associated with Gypsy jazz guitars.

This 2012 example is particularly striking for its genuine lapis lazuli inlays, which provide an unusual splash of deep blue against the guitar’s traditional aesthetic. The decorative appointments give the DG-310 a more luxurious appearance while retaining the functional, performance-oriented character expected from a professional Gypsy jazz instrument.

An uncommon signature-model Gitane with a direct connection to one of the Reinhardt family’s most accomplished contemporary players, this DG-310 is an excellent choice for the dedicated Gypsy jazz guitarist, Reinhardt enthusiast, or collector looking for something well outside the ordinary.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Body style & woods: Solid Sitka spruce top, with Indian (Santos) rosewood back and sides — a classic combo for gypsy/jazz tone with strong bass/depth and clear trebles.  
• Neck & Fingerboard: Slim, mahogany neck for a fast, comfortable feel (notably slimmer than many traditional “Selmer-style” guitars) — good for rhythm and lead playing. Ebony fingerboard with inlaid position markers in Lapis Lazuli & mother-of-pearl (M-O-P).  
• Soundhole & Body Design: Petite “oval / small oval (petite bouche)” soundhole — traditional gypsy-jazz design giving that characteristic punchy, percussive attack and projection.  
• Bridge & Tailpiece: Typically uses a movable ebony bridge with a compensated saddle (for intonation), and a silver-plated tailpiece — a classic setup for gypsy jazz.  
• Finish & Aesthetic Details: High-gloss vintage-toned finish, tortoise binding, multi-ply ebony/maple purfling. Headstock has ebony overlay with “Modele Lulo Reinhardt” script and the Gitane logo in metallic silver — a nice signature touch.
