    All I know is what I see here:

    This is the company that makes (or at least distributes) Johnson guitars. I have a bit of experience with their resophonic instruments which are inexpensive but of wildly varying quality. There are some suggestions that qualityhas gotten better in the past 6 months or so.

    First Saga (Gitane), then Aria (tho' I haven't seen any of these in north america yet) and now Paris Swing? If they are, indeed, anything like the Johnsons, I would not chance buying one on-line. I did play one brass bodied style'O' that was every bit as good as my old National, whereas the other dozen or so that I tried were complete garbage.

    I'm eerily reminded of the resonator craze that swept thru' the guitar world a few years back. I eventually lost track of the number of brands that were popping up everywhere. Now the local shops only stock Fenders with their hideous 'F' shaped f holes, or Deans with their even more hideous headstocks. If this happens with selmacs, I shudder to think what will be left when the market saturates.

    It looks like Cafedjango plans on selling these too.

    ...and what special occasion is complete without the "I LUV Gypsy Jazz" Teddy Bear?!

    Well, don't shoot the messenger! I first heard about both the Paris Swing Company and CafeDjango by visiting the Djangofest San Francisco home page. http://www.djangofest.com/sf/home.htm

    Personally, I'm holding out for the "Got Gypsy Jazz?" thong. (Place irreverently smirking emoticon here.)

    I wonder if Bernhard at Hot Club News is getting compensated for every American company under the sun using his graphic?

    Hi Ted,
    I asked Bernhard Gierstl about this. The Cartoon wasn´t made by him. The face of Django was once painted by Charles Delaunay. Later Alain Antonietto added the upper part of the body and the guitar.

    Best,
