## Questions & Answers

**Q: what material are the strings?**
A: Hello from the manufacturer,The Cigano GJ-15 is designed for steel strings and ships with EJ84L Gypsy Jazz, Loop End, Light, 10-44, but will accommodate ball end strings as well.  Nylon strings can be used, but the hardware is not designed for nylon and the neck might backbow due to the lower tension.  Tom MolyneauxSaga Musical Instruments

**Q: Do you offer payments on this guitar**
A: Sorry, we do not offer financing for this model

**Q: Does this have an internal resonator?**
A: Sorry, it does not. The internal resonator is typically only found in very high priced replicas of the original Selmer Maccaferri guitar. Most Gypsy guitars do not have it as it's not really necessary.

**Q: Does this model have nylon strings?  One buyer referred to the steel strings.  ???**
A: Mine came with steel strings. I've been continuing to put steel strings since.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cigano - pleasent suprise
*by M***M on October 6, 2013*

I had researched guitars with a tailpiece. Maccafieri-Selmer guitars came up. As a result I choose to test drive this guitar. The guitar arrived in great shape, the packing suitable to withstand all the bumps of mech. handling and bumping around in the back of a truck. The guitar I received is lightweight and seems stoutly built. The strings seem to be silver wound steel. They are light and easy to fret. After two days the strings set in and I didn't need to tune it as much. Pro's: The neck seems short although a 'tab' extends over the sound hole. This is plus because I could quickly move up and down the fretboard. The strings are very easy to fret, so it is very suitable for those beginners that are trying to build up their fingertips. I have an Ovation Balladeer, a big box Gibson, and other acoustic guitars. These guitars are pushy or louder on the 'D' or the 'G' string. This guitar is constant across the range of strings. If it is 'pushy' on a string it is the 'A' string. I like it for the bass end. The sound, this guitar is a loud acoustic. I am amazed it sounds equal or greater as compared to my big box Gibson/Ovation. Sweet! I wish that I had found this guitar first, instead of going through so many others. It has been mentioned that this gui8tar is a Jazz guitar. The shortness of the neck and the light strings may allow for quick playing but, the sustain on the notes is as long or longer than my other acoustics. Cons: The fretboard at the nut is 1.9 inches wide. This may allow for precision when fretting strings, however those ladies and myself with short fingers will find it more difficult to reach around the neck when fretting. It is taking some time to become comfortable with this. It has been reported that the short piece of fretboard that extends over the sound hole is in the way when using a pick. Not a problem for me as I fingerpick exclusively. Some have reported warping of the neck but, they don't mention the duration they have owned one. I don't think this should be a problem as the neck is steel reinforced and a tough long grained wood (looks a lot like oak) is used. Overall, I find this acoustic guitar to be useful for beginners, journeyman/professional. I strongly recommend purchasing this guitar. Follow-up: Within 3 months the 'mustache' ends of the bridge fell off. At 6 months I noticed string buzz on the 'B' and 'E' string. I had to shim 3/32in., one end of the bridge. Also the top split or cheked below the cut-out. In spite of this, it sounds good. I speculate that the neck or body has warped. For the money, maybe this isn't such a well made guitar.
