Gitane Nylon

[Whistler]

Hello all.
Has anyone played the Gitane DG-560 nylon string model? I waited years for this to come out but I'm very disappointed in the high price. And, of course, no one stocks one to try out.

Other than a few "reviews" on youtube, I have found no information. Anyone have some first hand info?

Thanks

Thinking that I might order a DG-560, I emailed Djangobooks.com and requested some info. Dimensions they gave me are:

Nut 1 7/8"
String spacing at bridge 2 1/8"
Scale 650mm (this is from Gitane literature)

They say that these are the dimensions Mario Maccaferri used on his original instrument. If you are familiar with classical guitars, you know that these neck and bridge dimensions are somewhat smaller than usually found on a classical.

They don't work for me but I thought others might find this interesting.
