Opis
Kitara modela M je instrument v slogu Selmer-Maccaferri, primeren za gypsy jazz glasbo, ki jo je populariziral veliki Django Reinhardt. Selmer-Maccaferri je posebna kitara z jeklenimi strunami, najbolj znana kot najljubši instrument Djanga Reinhardta.
Selmer, francoski proizvajalec, je instrument proizvajal od leta 1932 do približno leta 1952. Leta 1932 se je Selmer povezal z italijanskim kitaristom in lutnarjem Mariom Maccaferrijem, da bi izdelali linijo akustičnih kitar, ki temeljijo na Maccaferrijevi neortodoksni zasnovi. Čeprav se je Maccaferrijevo sodelovanje s Selmerjem končalo leta 1934, je podjetje še naprej izdelovalo več modelov te kitare do leta 1952. Kitara je bila tesno povezana z jazz kitaristom Djangom Reinhardtom. V svoji arhetipski obliki z jeklenimi strunami za jazz/orkester se Selmer odlikuje po precej velikem telesu s kvadratnimi izboklinami, bodisi v obliki črke "D" bodisi vzdolžno ovalno zvočno odprtino, in izrezom v zgornji desni izboklini.
Strune potekajo čez premični mostiček in so vpete na repu, kot pri mandolini. Na zvočno ploščo sta pritrjena dva označevalca v obliki brkov, ki pomagata pri nameščanju premičnega mostička. Zgornji del kitare je rahlo obokan ali kupolast – značilnost, ki jo dosežemo z upogibanjem ravnega kosa lesa in ne z rezbarijo v slogu violine, ki se uporablja pri kitarah z archtopom.

Dodatni opis:
Model M guitar is a Selmer-Maccaferri style instrument suitable for gypsy jazz music popularised by the great Django Reinhardt.
The Selmer-Maccaferri is a special steel stringed guitar best known as the favored instrument of Django Reinhardt. Selmer, a French manufacturer, produced the instrument from 1932 to about 1952. In 1932 Selmer partnered with the Italian guitarist and luthier Mario Maccaferri to produce a line of acoustic guitars based on Maccaferri's unorthodox design. Although Maccaferri's association with Selmer ended in 1934, the company continued to make several models of this guitar until 1952. The guitar was closely associated with jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt.
In its archetypal steel-string Jazz/Orchestre form, the Selmer is distinguished by a fairly large body with squarish bouts, either a "D"-shaped or longitudinal oval sound hole, and a cutaway in the upper right bout. The strings pass over a movable bridge and are gathered at the tail, as on a mandolin. Two "moustache" markers are fixed to the soundboard to help position the movable bridge. The top of the guitar is gently arched or domed—a feature achieved by bending a flat piece of wood rather than by the violin-style carving used in archtop guitars.
