Manouche guitars

Since the II Jazz Manouche Meeting held in Petralia Sottana, Inguaggiato’s laboratory is also specialized in Manouche guitars, severely made from first choice wood with natural long aging. The back and the body sides are made in solid wood, not in laminate.

The laboratory studied and improved on several projects of manouche guitars, making their costruction personalized. Their sound was positively appreciated by world renowned artists such as Angelo Debarre, who noticed the deeper sound, the bigger projection of volume, the low weight and the chromatic contrasts of the headstock.

On demand, Inguaggiato Laboratory produces “D. Bouche” guitars and “Ovale Bouche” guitars, long and short scale.
