Jean Barault (FR) Selmer Studio Model

Super authentic Selmer sound!!! Made in  France by renowned Luthier Jean Barault!

Biréli Lagrène, Tchavolo Schmitt, Dorado Schmitt, Angelo Debarre, and Stochelo Rosenberg currently play and endorse Barault guitars.

Barault is one of the very few luthiers today actually making Selmer copies with a real pliage. He uses the method that Selmer did. The top is bent with a hot iron which creates a fold, or "pliage," in the top just under the bridge.

The pliage tops have a better punch, volume, and quick attack!!

Barault's specialty is building instruments which sound very close to the early, pre-war Selmers like Django's Selmer #503.
