Selmer / Maccaferri Guitars

Welcome to Eimers Guitars

The luthier Leo Eimers is specialized in building and restoring Selmer / Maccaferri style guitars. All the guitars are traditionally hand crafted by Leo. On this website you can find all the information you need about the Selmer style guitars he makes. Pictures, technical descriptions and sound clips of each model. There is also a lot of background information about the original Selmer guitars, amplification and the musicians that play on Eimers Guitars, like Stochelo Rosenberg, Boulou and Elios Ferre, Wawau Adler and Robin Nolan.

30 years experience

I’m a self-taught luthier and fascinated by this specific type of acoustic jazz guitar. The best learning moments for the craftsmanship of guitar construction, I experienced from adjusting and restoring guitars like Selmer, Favino, Busato, Castelluccia, Di Mauro and many others.

Choose your Eimers Guitars

Choosing a guitar is very personal. I offer several models, all based on the Selmer design but all with a different “flavour” of sound. Perhaps you want to play gypsy jazz music and are looking for a specific guitar. Or you may want to play gypsy jazz, but also want to use the guitar for other music styles? Are you more focussed on playing solo or rhythm, or do want to play both? First of all it doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or professional. A top quality guitar with good playability and a good sound will stimulate and motivate you when you are studying and performing. It will definitely prove to be a good investment that will last for a lifetime or even longer!
