2015 CASTELLUCCIA
MENILMONTANT
The Castelluccia family has constructed Gypsy
guitars for three generations, making them the oldest
continually running Gypsy guitar manufacturer in
France. The shop was founded by Jean-Baptiste
Castelluccia, an Italian immigrant who was one of
many of the skilled Italian luthiers to arrive in Paris
during the early 20th Century. The shop is now lead
by Jean-Baptiste's grandson, who is also named
Jean-Baptiste, and continues to build the unique
Gypsy models of his grandfather as well as more
conventional Selmer copies. With nearly a century of
collective experience, the Castelluccia shop
continues to build some of the best sounding and
most affordable Gypsy guitars made in France. As the
market for Castelluccias built in the 50s and 60s has
heated up over the years, it's wonderful to have the
option of buying a brand new Castelluccia at almost
half the cost of what the vintage ones goes for.
