Power, balance and projection

The SL200 combines a solid spruce top with rosewood back and sides, offering a balanced, deep, and articulate tone with excellent projection and clarity. This tonewood pairing provides extended headroom and precise note definition, making it ideal for both solo playing and rhythmic accompaniment. Its elegant high-gloss finish enhances the visual depth of the woods while preserving resonance and projection.

Traditional design, modern performance

Built around the classic “petite bouche” (oval hole) format, the SL200 respects the defining features of Gypsy Jazz guitars. A wooden bridge and metal tailpiece ensure fast attack and efficient vibration transfer, while the zero fret contributes to consistent playability. Fitted with Argentine strings, it delivers the characteristic tone and response of the style. The slotted headstock combines traditional metal shafts with precise diecast tuners, and a dual-action truss rod provides reliable neck stability and adjustability. The body shape and bracing are optimized to achieve the projection, clarity, and dynamic range expected from a modern Gypsy Jazz instrument.

Built to travel, ready to perform

The SL200 includes a dedicated semi-rigid gigbag tailored to the Gypsy body shape. Generously padded and easy to carry, it ensures excellent protection for both daily use and travel. With its refined construction, premium tonewoods, and included accessories, the SL200 delivers remarkable value for players seeking performance and authenticity.

A tribute to Django Reinhardt and French tradition
