Few guitarists today can approach the colossal technique and fiery musicalstylings of Angelo Debarre. Dell’Arte proudly brings you the signature model that meets the virtuoso’s specifications. This model has a slightly larger Favino-style body that many players believe contributes an extra measure of tone and volume. The guitar also features a solid spruce top, mahogany neck, a rosewood fretboard, a mustache bridge and agold-plated tailpiece with an engraving of Debarre’s signature.

Angelo Debarre, born in St. Denis, France, started playing guitar at the age of 8. He was brought up by a family in touch with the manouche (gypsy)tradition, where music is an essential part of life. He founded his first group, “The Angelo Debarre Quintet” in 1984, and began touring the world with gypsy musicians. Since then, he has garnered acclaim throughout the world for his guitar playing and complex compositions. For Debarre, Django Reinhardt’s music never loses the dynamism and richness of the past. This Dell’Arte model reflects his love and appreciation for the art of gypsy jazz.
