The Selmer Maccaferri Hawaiian Model

We were fortunate to be able to use some photographs in our booklet to the Virtuose de le Guitare Hawaiienne cd of a Selmer guitar belonging to Michael Simmons . Michael is Editor at Large for Fretboard Journal magazine and the pictures were taken by Ian Nansen . We thought we would post a few of the pictures we didn't have space for in the booklet on this page . We thought too that we would give a plug for Francois Charle's fabulous book on Selmer Maccaferri guitars ...which is now back in print . The Selmer guitar is famous today because of the Django connection of course...but the little known Hawaiian model is a thing of real beauty as you can see from these photos:
