Over the past decade Leo Eimers has been one of the prominent builders
of Selmer Maccaferri guitars in the Netherlands. Based in Almere, just
outside of Amsterdam, Eimers builds his instruments entirely himself
by hand. He is particularly well respected as a student of "Golden
Age" luthiers such as Maccaferri, Selmer, Busato, and Favino. He uses
his knowledge of these luthiers to build some of the most authentic
and well constructed Selmer copies available. His instruments have been
used by many professionals over the years, most notably Stochelo and
Nous'che Rosenberg of the Rosenberg Trio, Robin Nolan, Boulou Ferre,
and Wawau Adler.
This guitar was built expressly for Nous'che Rosenberg and used by him on countless performances and recordings most notably the 2003 CD/DVD Live at Samois.
This instrument is in very good condition with no major structural problems. It does have various dings and scratches as well as some light finish checking. It did have a bigtone pickup at one point, but that was removed leaving only the access hole in the top.
This is the CASH price...add 3% if you'd like to pay with a credit card. 4% for International orders.
