  You may also want to consider Paris Swing GG39 or Eko Evo Gipsy, similar priced guitars.

  Thanks for the advice; are they comparable quality?

  The Eko Evo Gypsy is decent, certainly not a bad starter but it has quite a fat, d shape neck so I would definitely try one before hand to see how you get on. Are you on Facebook? The Gypsy jazz UK page has stuff come up from time to time. I picked up my Gitane 250m for £450 from Gumtree. I traveled to London to get it, so did a Megabus then a train ride home.

  Dan - Eko and Paris Swing IMO superior to Cigano by leaps and bounds. The tone of the Paris Swing is more gypsy, the EKO is my favorite under $1000 USD (unless you can find a used Altamira). I have small hands and no problem with the EKO neck, its narrow.

  I like my Cigano GJ-10 better than the Paris Swing GG-39 in some ways, most importantly, volume. My Paris Swing had a nice sound, but was not very loud. The Cigano plays well, sounds fairly authentic, and has decent volume.
