Selmer-Maccaferri Petite Bouche
Selmer · acoustic guitar
The Selmer Maccaferri Petite Bouche is a jazz manouche acoustic guitar featuring a small oval soundhole, neck joint moved to the 14th fret, and 26.4 inch scale length. The instrument features a solid arched spruce top, laminated rosewood back and sides, and walnut neck. The petite bouche design eliminates the complicated internal resonator of the earlier grande bouche model, creating an especially loud and cutting voice preferred by lead players in Django-style bands. The tone has near-perfect balance of mids and treble, producing rich, luscious chords and clear, penetrating single-note lines with exceptional projection and immediate attack.
