Beautiful Adirondack red spruce top with Koa back and sides;
Snakehead tuner pegs
Bigtone Pickup that Shelley created for the guitar

It's a great rhythm or lead guitar; in excellent + condition.

Price:  $3000 which includes shipping & insurance.

this is a great guitar that has been very well taken care of at a great price as
a new one is around $4500.

My wife and I, retired teachers are considering a trip to New Zealand next year.

Does anyone on this list live there? and if so would you be interested in
getting together for some playing while we're down there?

Noto D the new LA gypsy swing group, will be playing at The Oyster House in
Studio City this coming Saturday night, starting at 10:00 pm, NO cover.

The Oyster House

The nearest cross street is Whitsett Ave.

Noto D is led by Pat Ciliberto on lead guitar, Tim Weed on violin, and anchored

Hope you can make it.

The SelMac is a hybrid itself, with mandolin DNA

"The Henri Selmer-Mario Maccaferri guitar was built using the construction
techniques of a mandolin with steel strings, with pressure on the top that
increases its volume and gave it a trebly tone."

http://www.paulvernonchester.com/selmermaccaferri_guitars.htm

I designed a hybrid I call the Bauhaus which can be seen at

Michael Keller built it. I have a wonderful Michael Dunn Mystery Pacific for the
authentic Selmer sound, but the Bauhaus is a nice compromise between many
things. It's loud and percussive like an archtop or a Selmer but also has the
richness of a good flatpicking guitar. Anyone who has played guitar at a
bluegrass jam knows the guitar usually gets drowned out, I get enough volume to
cut through with this, still get an appropriate sound and can use it where I
would a Selmer or an archtop. It's not a substitute for anything - just another
instrument that borrows good qualities from different places and which lends
itself musically to a number of settings. Of all my instruments, it's probably
the most versatile.
