If by the time you look at this, the link is inactivated, it was a 1930s Maccaferri, labelled Selmer on the headstock and tagged Selmer inside the body.
Should probably go for around $25,000.

    from Manoucheries:

    It seems that this guitar has been for sale for a little while now. That is not the first ad about it.
    In a previous post, it was asked 13,000Euros (~ $17,000).
    The story says that there is a crack on the top next to the D hole. You can see it on the pictures.

    Glad to see the price coming down, but I'm still a little short :oops:

    There is also some displacement of the top wood suggesting that things are moving around inside, but that is what you get with a guitar that is 70+ years old and has seen a hard life on the road. I should think it is repairable. After seeing the repair Leo Eimers did on Selmer #657 that got crushed in a car accident, anything is possible.

    http://www.eimersguitars.com/restauration.html Scroll down to Selmer 657, the picture links only seem to work in MS IE, not Firefox or Chrome, at least for me.

    Today, the sale is "désactivée". So maybe it is not so "alive" after all. Wonder what happened?
