It is widely said that Mario Maccaferri only built Selmer guitars himself, in the years 1932/33. Only around 300 guitars from this classic period are known to have been made.Louis Gallo, a pioneer of plectrum jazz style guitar, had the guitar changed to a 6 string head/neck in the 1960s. Louis,instructed his good friend, Marco Roccia, a master luthier and employee of Clifford Essex Co. (who published BMG magazine at the time), to carry out the alterations to the guitar, as it is found today.Louis and Marco, who both could count Mario Maccaferri as a personal ffriend, visited Paris many times in the 1950/60s and during this time bought original Maccaferri components from Pierre Beuscher musical instruments, Paris-15e, which were subsequently used on Selmer Maccaferri no. 269. The illustrated receipt for these parts, which is held by Ray Gallo, supports these facts.
