Woods & construction procedures are exactly like those of the original Selmer guitars. Necks are made of old european walnut with an ebony fretboard with Dunlop frets, reinforced by a two-way adjustable truss-rod (an exception to the original model).

Tops are made of solid master-grade european spruce.

The bodies are varnished inside.

Bridges & moustaches made of pre-CITES brazilian rosewood.

The sides & backs are laminated, like original Selmers, offering a light construction & facilitating the fierce attack associated with gypsy playing.

All Indian & brazilian rosewood veneers over 30 year old well dried pre-CITES stock. All Honduras mahogany veneers over 30 years old stock




A variety of woods available for the bodies
