Maccaferri G-40 Arch Top Acoustic Guitar, c. 1953, Very Colectable.

"The G-40 Maccaferri is on Desplay in the Smithsonian in Washington DC" , No collection is complete without one.

This guitar was designed by Mario Maccaferri and made by the French American Reeds Manufacturing Company of Mount Vernon, New York in 1954. Maccaferri (1900-1993) was born in Cento, Italy and at the age of eleven became an apprentice to guitarist and luthier Luigi Mozzani. After an early career as a guitarist and instrument maker in Europe, Maccaferri immigrated to the United States in 1939. Mario Maccaferri developed a variety of plastic instruments including plastic woodwind reeds and a plastic ukulele. This six course (6x1) guitar, model G-40, was made of Dow Styron plastic. As indicated in the original brochure accompanying this guitar, it sold for $39.95.

Condition: The overall condition is Good, we have just restrung it with Electric 10-42's. There was some headstock separation which had been glued and is stable and looks OK, These are a great Wall hanger and like we said no collection is complete without one, these a a very important historical piece.
