Cigano GJ-10 Django Student Jazz Guitar (Mahogany/Rosewood)

Product Description

Learning how to play Gypsy Jazz music can be discouraging to any any guitarist, let alone a student or beginner. To help bridge this gap, Saga Musical Instruments has added two Cigano models to their Gypsy Jazz guitar lineup. The short scale D-hole model for the rhythm enthusiast and a 14-fret "Small-hole" version popular with soloists and similar to the guitar most often seen in the hands of Django himself. The GJ-10 oval-hole model fills the bill at a very affordable price.


  • Solid Sitka spruce top and beautiful Asian rosewood back and sides.
  • Mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard.
  • Bone nut and traditional "zero" fret with mahogany peghead overlay.
  • Traditional brass tailpiece and gold-plated, accurate 14:1 ratio tuners.
  • Ebony moustache bridge with movable center. Shop adjusted.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Acoustic Guitars under $800 PERIOD, January 10, 2012

This review is from: Cigano GJ-10 Django Student Jazz Guitar (Mahogany/Rosewood) (Electronics)
This guitar is one of those hidden gems nobody wants to admit is worth wild. It is a gypsy jazz guitar, so pretty much every guitar player will avoid it because they either know nothing about it or assume it will be junk like the other cheap Django guitars. Well, I've owned all the cheaper models, the Arias, the Stagg, the other no name brands...the Cigano smashes them. This guitar is not junk, it is an exceptionally well made acoustic guitar, right now you can get it for around $330 new if you search for it online. The GJ10 has a superior neck to $1000+ taylor guitars you can see at guitar center, guitars like the 114ce which are one of the best cutaway guitars you can get. This cigano not only feels better, but actually sounds better. This is going to be hard for anyone to believe, a $400 guitar besting an expensive TAYLOR? No way! Well, it does in its own way, while the taylors are more clear sounding, they simply do not project like the cigano does. Pick them up side by... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest deal, July 14, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Oscar Schmidt OG1B 3/4 Size Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar (High Gloss Black) (Electronics)
I bought this item for $55, expecting a simple cheap guitar. It turns out to be an excellent guitar. To be fair, I'm no professional, but I know a good guitar when I play one.
The sound is beautiful, considering the size of this beauty. The strings are very decent, and the tuning stays accurate after a few days of playing. I have a small hand, so the size is perfect for me.
In terms of appearance, it is way more than I expected. The black-paint-finish is top-notch, with the tortoise shell inlay perfectly surrounding the body. It really is a thing of beauty.
Finally, shipping. I live in Hawaii, so shipping usually takes a long time. I chose the cheapest option (free shipping) because I was not in a hurry to get the guitar. The estimated arrival time was about the month, which I could live with. Within 3 days, UPS knocked on my door and voila, IT'S HERE!
How can you get a better deal than that?

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Sounds from a Work of Art, November 25, 2007
By 
Janice Sears "jesears13" (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Luna Fauna Phoenix Acoustic Guitar, Black (Electronics)
The Luna Fauna Phoenix Acoustic guitar has rainbow colored abalone inlay galore, from the phoenix design on the body, and the swirl around the sound hole, to the logo on the headstock. It is absolutely beautiful. It is also a great sounding acoustic-electric guitar. It has a very warm, full sound. It is lightweight and easy to play. The pre-amp has a tuner, so it is quite easy and convenient to stay in tune all the time. The hardest thing about this guitar is keeping it out of the hands of the other guitar players in your home--it is quite irresistible! Be sure to order the hard case to protect its beauty--also available from Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best in show, that's for sure., January 13, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Luna Fauna Phoenix Acoustic Guitar, Black (Electronics)
Very, Very sweet looking guitar. Looks very expensive. It has been confused for a graphite composite guitar (priced in the thousands) Most of Luna's guitars have a "girly" appearance to them, this one looks cool with anyone playing it. Out of the triad of guitars I gig with, this is by far the best looking.

But the sound is a slightly different story. I'm not really a stickler for guitar tone, but the pickup and EQ on this guitar is not very good, IMO. It is a VERY twangy sounding guitar. I have to turn up the bass all the way to get any low end out of it at all, and it still sounds kind of tinny. The tuner is nice to have, but it bounces around A LOT. If you're close to on tune, it still goes back and forth from sharp to flat, making it hard to have a tuning that is spot on. I end up using it to get close, then tuning by ear. My Ibanez electric (that I don't even play out with) sounds better plugged in, it has a nicer fishman equipped pickup, and a better tuner, and it's... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A strong rhythm guitar, with great lower range, May 25, 2008
This review is from: Takamine G Series G440C NEX Acoustic Guitar, Natural (Electronics)
This guitar is a popular choice for teachers in the non-profit Guitars in the Classroom program here in Tucson. Kaman provides these and Applause guitars for free for our program, but these, by far, have superior sound for strumming and leading students in classroom singing. They stay in tune (Open G) are easy to play and make musicians of amateurs quickly. Buy ONe

This review is from: Takamine G Series G440C NEX Acoustic Guitar, Natural (Electronics)
I read reviews on this guitar; all were great, but there was only one on amazon which happen to be a 5 star review, all the rest I checked were with other mechants and they were all unananomus in positive reviews. The first thing that I noticed is how beautiful and apearantly perfect this guitar looked, but it also played very well once in tune. This guitar made me hear the differance between a really high quality guitar and an inferior one, yet it was not very expensive. Believe me, I've been looking for the cheapest of all high quality guitar and this is it!!!

Not much to say except it is an awesome guitar for a reasonable price. A little disappointed to find out it was made in China instead of Korea, still the quality is pretty good, I don't think you could find a better guitar for the price.
