Req: Selmer #503 construction specifications - help please!
La Gitane
Llanelli, UK✭✭✭
Hi all
I'm trying to find the following info about the construction of Django's Selmer #503 14 fret "Modele Jazz" guitar (1934):
1) What was the width of the fingerboard at the nut?
2) What was the width of the fingerboard at the 12th fret?
3) What was the scale length (bridge-nut) ? [I gather from an internet site that this was usually 670mm for this model; is this correct?]
4) What was the width of the fret wires?
I suspect the answers to all the above might be contained in Francois Charles encyclopedic work "The Story of Selmer Maccaferri Guitars", but it is proving difficult to track down a copy of this reference work at a reasonable price; and I'm on a limited budget and only need the above facts!
Alternatively, if anyone has (?second hand) construction plans for sale for the above, please contact me via a personal message.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation
