WTB: Selmer-style BODY

KeithBillik · 7:09AM

Hey folks-

I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking for an Oval hole Selmer-style guitar body. I guess I'm imagining/hoping that someone (or perhaps a dealer?) has an Altamira M01, Eastman DM1 or something similar that has a damaged or defective neck sitting around so that they could part out the rest of the guitar.

Because this is for a bit of an experimental project (my goal is to attach an aesthetically matching 5-string banjo neck), my budget is most likely going to be limited to these kinds of imported guitars rather than having something custom built or spending the $$ to purchase an entire guitar off the rack only to remove the neck. But, let me know what you have and we'll see! FWIW, I am located in Michigan, USA.

TIA

Keith

Well, I have this Altamira M30 that got skewered by a forklift

The remaining wood is in the body and could probably be pieced back together. Other than the “sound port” on the side, it’s totally intact and functional. $300 plus shipping.
