STRINGS:
We carry high-quality, loop-end, round-core strings for Gypsy guitars from Argentine and Optima, as well as sought-after jazz strings from Thomastik-Infeld. Strings are of extreme importance for achieving an authentic Manouche sound, and these products from both Argentine and Optima have been re-engineered to last much longer than the original designs, which were notoriously fragile.

SPECIALTY GYPSY JAZZ PICKS:
Picks are always an important part of getting great guitar tone, but in the realm of Gypsy Jazz, this is doubly true. A pick can make or break your sound for this style; too thin and you won't get heard over the rhythm player, shaped wrong and your articulation won't sound right. At Keith Holland Guitars, we stock high quality picks from US Blues, Wegen, DjangoGuitars, Golden Gate, Gravity, Dunlop and more so that players can find the perfect acoustic sound for their Gypsy Jazz guitars, or for any other guitar or style. A little pick goes a long way!
DjangoGuitars.com Gypsy Jazz Picks
The next generation of DjangoGuitars custom plectrums have arrived. The construction of real Turtle shell picks has long been an arcane tradition with much mystery around why certain plectrums have a particular color and attack to their sound. Over the years our team has been granted access to measure and study many of these coveted picks belonging to the most prolific artists of the Gypsy swing guitar. The result has yielded us the most authentic and accurate replica to that of genuine shell.
