2015 Baudemont Selmer

This delightful Selmer copy was handbuilt in France by Francois Baudemont. The specs are similar to that of the original Selmer guitar: spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, and a walnut neck. The dimensions are typical, with the body measuring 15 3/4" across the lower bout and the neck is a full 670mm. Francois added a beautiful abalone inlay in the headstock and a "dot-less" fingerboard which gives the guitar a slightly more modern look.

Tonally this instrument clear and bright, with nice shimmery highs that make your lead lines sparkle and sing. It is also an exceptionally loud guitar that has both the high end punch as well as the all around projection needed to cut through in even the most volume challenged situations.

Francois setup this guitar with very slinky 2.8mm action. Not only is the action low, but it sounds good with light gauge Argentine 1510 strings which is usually not possible with sub 3mm action. The result is exceptional playability which makes this instrument perfect for someone looking for an instrument that is easy on their hands.

All in all, a fine guitar at any price but an absolute steal in the sub $3K price range. An amazing deal for a French made guitar of this quality.
