About Jeff Letain
Brilliant! I always looking for manouche guitar that surpasses traditional shaped acoustic from Django´s era. It seems nobody but You see that it´s been more than 50 years since he forge his own path. Now we need guitar with the very same spirit yet with a modern look and features that meets expectations of today player. Well done mister Letain!!
