Nigel, I'm familiar with Andreas. I think he demonstrates for Saga, and that's unfortunate.

Several years ago I bought a Guitane. It was replaced 3 times, and I never got a playable one. They wouldn't work with the dealer, and I had to go to the state Attorney General's Office. Finally, they allowedthe dealer to take replacement merchandise in trade. I felt sorry for the small dealer and bought three other instruments for nearly list price so he could cover the cost of this "dog" and break even.

Worst factory service and quality I'ver ever seen. They stuck thousands of people with instruments with bad necks, according to what people say on the internet.

It's a shame, because the instruments were beautiful.

Andreas really does the history of gypsy jazz proud.
