Gaillard and Loiselet Vintage Gypsy Jazz Guitar

Dominik

Hello,

Here are pictures of my Gaillard and Loiselet Vintage Gypsy Jazz Guitar.
I got this guitar with no label but I was able to find the same one at the museum of popular music of Montluçon (France). This guitar got the most amazing tailpiece (this is how I found out it's a Gaillard et Loiselet guitar)

I'm attaching pictures before restoration

It was a fun project. French polish the entire guitar, sand down the neck, new inlays and new frets.

I would love to get more information regarding this guitar or the luthier who worked on it.

Thank you,

Leonardo

Looks like a Sonora, same tailpiece, same headstock. Interesting!

The topic has beencovered some time ago (take a look at the links I posted about Hono' s guitar)

Gaillard and Loiselet didn' t build guitars, Jacobacci did some for their brand under the pseudonym ofJosè Sanchez(!). So maybe Jacobacci was also the guy behind the Sonora brand... or maybe Carmelo Catania was involved in this "minor" project. Who knows? Anyway this is another link to the triad Jacobacci/Di Mauro/ Catania as stated in that thread...
