Paul McCartney's Rosetti Solid 7 guitar
Xose:
Hello,
Under Bobber suggestion (=thanks Bobber!! ;) ) I start this topic.
I'm currently researching Paul McCartney's original sound prior to mid-April 1961, when he purchased in Hamburg his 1st Hofner 500/1 'violin' bass, which would be famous in the whole world two years after. I have been collecting some Paul McCartney's ger from this era, as Selmer and Reslo microphones, Elpico amp, Zenith guitar, Framus guitar, and my last finding: an original and in a superb condition Rosetti Solid 7, red coloured, from 1961....)
I'm trying to find the brand/make of the pickup he fitted to this guitar, and seen at Top Ten Club in Hamburg at the beginning of April 1961, and I thought you could help me to identify it...
Do you know which kind of pickup could be?? It seems LIKE a DeArmond but in my opinion it is NOT a DeArmond, but another German or British pickup imitating the DeArmond.
What do you think?? Could you help me??
I will be awaiting for your news...
Sincerely yours,
Xosé

You're welcome. I moved the thread to the Musician's Corner as I thought it fitted better. Of course you do know that Rosetti is the English brand name for Egmond guitars from The Netherlands. Egmond does have a Solid 7 as well. Might that be something to research? I will also sent your question and pictures to a friend who has a guitar shop downtown.

All info about Rosetti/Egmond Solid 7 (=catalogues, photos, owners, spare parts, etc.) is VERY welcome...

owned by Larry Wassgren

Thanks Bobber!! ;)
The green guitar is a Super Solid 7, i.e.: the model Egmond launched at beginning sixties to substitute the Solid 7
The red one is not Larry's anymore (=he sold it). It also hasn't the original Royal pick ups system...
I'm enclosing more photos with the original Royal pickup system fitted to Solid 7's...
Just compare the 'black strip' (=like, for example, on Macca's one) vs. the white one (=like, for example, on mine...)
