Django - guitarists?

[GeneralB44]

Any Django fans here? I'm looking for a django style gypsy guitar to play to see how I like it, but haven't found any places in Philly that carry any. Does anybody know any quality repro's of the old Selmer (maccaferri) design?

This is basically what I'm looking for:

Django

GeneralB44, if memory serves me correctly (and it may not) back in the late eighties, early nineties, someone uncovered a load of Macaferri guitars in a warehouse somewhere, I think in New York! I can remember seeing ads for them in Guitar player magazine for quite sometime! I also seem to recall that these were mass produced and made out of some sort of plastic or resin, obviously a replica and not of the hand made type that Django used!



p.s. yo, where abouts in Philly are you from?
