Django's Arthur Carbonelli guitar

paulmcevoy75

Does anyone have more pictures of Django's Arthur Carbonelli guitar? It looks like a cool instrument and I might want to make a guitar inspired by it...I've only seen the close up pictures of Django holding it and a quick search of his guitars show things that don't look at all similar.

Any ideas?

There's a very clear photo that's somewhere on the forum. I couldn't dig it up...

Could it be this one?

yeah definitely. Thank you!

I wish there were some pictures of the entire guitar. I like the design a lot.

Isn’t this his Carbonell guitar? Clearly not the same as the above guitars although Carbonell did make Selmer-style guitars.

I don't know. The above pictures are listed as such in the Dregni book. The Carbonelli guitars I've seen look more like the one you listed.

If you scroll down far enough there’s a lot of info about Django and his Carbonell guitars (which he seems to have borrowed) here:

There’s no ‘I’ in Carbonell btw.

Django is playing Marcel Bianchi's Carbonel in this photo from 1937. The other Emile Savitry photos are from 1933.
