From Canada, this wonderful Elan 14 Gypsy guitar by Shelley Park is a dream to play with a flatpick. It's got all of the robust Selmer-style tone you'd expect from a high-end gypsy instrument, complete with the signature mid-range honk these guitars are known for. The neck and fretboard construction are superb. We'll say it again: This guitar is a dream to play with a flatpick. The neck is lightning fast and the notes are as clear and pronounced as can be. Choice woods and ornate designs make this guitar a winner.

Player Reviews:
"This is a Gypsy guitar for the player who's tired of the average factory guitar. This is an exquisite, hand made guitar by Shelley Park and it's the real deal. Exquisite in every way." - Paul Heumiller
"I'm tempted to buy this guitar just to force myself to learn to play Gypsy style. I played this longer than any other guitar that has come through recently. The sound is perfect and the playability is amazing. Definitely a step up from similar guitars I've played. It's also exquisitely crafted and beautiful to look at.
" - Al Petteway
