The Nomad is our interpretation of François Charle’s Selmer #807 oval-hole Gypsy Jazz Guitar, also referred to as the ‘Petite Bouche’ (small mouth) guitar. True to form and tradition, the soundboard features a heat-pressed fold or ‘pliage’ at the bridge, an important detail that lends itself to bigger sound, more volume and a quicker attack. See below for more photos and specifications.
All of our guitars are made to order.
