| | Is it a Maccaferri? |
| | The rule of thumb for describing Selmer guitars: the 1932-33 models with the D-hole are called Maccaferri, or Selmer Maccaferri, guitars, while the later oval-hole model is simply called a Selmer guitar. | | | In Europe before the War he was a guitarist and a luthier-visionary, and the designer of a particular guitar with noteworthy innovations, like his internal resonator, sealed tuning machines, and a metal-reinforced neck, among others. | | | Many people outside France are a bit bewildered about what is a "Maccaferri" and/or a "Selmer" guitar. |
