Handbuilt gypsy jazz guitar with natural spruce top by Paul McEvoy Guitars.

Another Selmer-style build — this one named for the granadillo I used on the back and sides, a dense, richly figured tonewood that pairs a bright top with a warm, focused low end.

Like all of my gypsy jazz builds, it's built around the oval soundhole and floating bridge that define the style — a design borrowed from the Selmer-Maccaferri guitars of the 1930s and still the standard for the genre today.
