This is the original "Matrice" from the Selmer company. With the help of a Pentograph, it was used to transfer and inscribe the Selmer Logo on every Headstock plaque that graced every single guitar. It was in the pile of everything guitar related that was sold to Jean Beuscher in 1953, when the guitar workshop was closed forever. Many years later it was gifted to me. Enjoy.

A Rare Trio

A very rare Salvatore Amico, a child-size Jacques Favino "Jazz Model" and an "Blvd de Ménilmontant" Bortolo Busato.
