Egmond Colorado Bass and 6 String
Donald Edwards
I have one of each to sell if anyone is interested. Both are semi acoustic. I am located in Oriskany, N.Y. I bought both when i lived in Munich, Germany.
Hello Folks,is it known if the One Cut Harrison was ever issued with a Lucky 7 type pick-up/scratch plate,or could it be a Egmond acoustic jazz? The lower F hole has the half enlarged rounded sound hole.All of the One Cuts i’ve seen(photos)have scratch plates so i’m not able to tell from those.Any help on the history of these guitars is welcome.
Could someone please tell me any information on an Egmond with the serial number 23780837? The nubs of its tuning pegs are missing and its got a few dings on its body, but I’m wondering if its worth anything, how old it is, etc. To replace the hardware is gonna cost me $50-60 and I’m not sure if I should spend the money or just put that cash toward a new guitar. Any thoughts are welcome!
Hi, I have a ragged Egmond bass (model: Tempest) in my attic. Sadly it is missing the upper bridge part. Any ideas on how to get hold of such bridge part?

Hi ,Does Any One Out There Have Any Info As To Any Beatle Connection To This Model Of Guitar, ie The Egmond Rosetti "Lucky Seven" ,As Having Just Aquired Such A Guitar I Would Certainly Apreciate Any Help On The Matter , With Thanks ,Bill .
I believe that George Harrison and Paul McCartney both started out with Egmonds because they were so ‘affordable’! I believe that George’s original childhood Egmond recently sold for somewhere in the $500,000 range, not because it was an Egmond, but because it was George’s. Peace and Love.
I can confirm that Paul McCartney did have a Lucky 7, badged as a Rosetti. He was recently interviewed by Pete Docherty for the Observer and mentioned the guitar, which he took to Germany. The article can be found at,

Hey all,
My dad gave me his old guitar that had just been sitting there. It says "EGMOND" across the top of the headstock, and the serial number is 15011019. As far as I know, he bought it sometime in the ’70’s because he has pictures of him with it. Id like to know more information about it, and find a website or some sort of resource that would appraise it for me. THANKS FOR THE HELP!

Egmonds are from the late 50’s and early 60’s. It was the first kind of guitar owned by George Harrison, one of the Beatles.

I own a few Egmond/Rosettisand wondered if there were any collectors of them out there. I have a sunburst parlour sized model that is identical to George Harrisons(and Brian Mays). It’s in great condition with its movable plastic bridge. It doesn’t sound brilliant. My first guitar was a white Lucky 7 from the late 50’s. You can age them by how many dots it has on the fretboard to within a few years and also if it has a truss rod. I bought a Lucky 7 exactly the same as my first guitar. It had been stored under a bed with 2 strings on it in its awful yellow soft case since the 60’s when the person gave up trying to learn. The curse of them is the neck bowing(and a lot have been turned into slide guitars) but this is absolutely straight. The necks come off and you can adjust the angle. I put a shim (little piece of wood) under it and it has a lovely action. The plastic adjustable and movable bridge looks like new. The original pearloid scratchplate was warped but I solved that pouring boiling water over it and placing it on a flat surface. The only thing that makes it not brand new looking is some paint flaking on the back of the neck from me playing it. I would sell it is someone were interested. My rarest is a Rosetti Airline 3. They are rare anyway but mine has a solid mahogany body(which I ,nor anyone has ever seen. It has Fender tuners fitted(the first 60’s Fender tuners with the F logo on, they are U shaped). It has a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. It has a white pearloid scratchplate and a moveable metal bridge(this is usually not present). It has 3 humbucker sized single coil pick ups( they sound very like Kurt Cobains Univox pick ups) with a switch for each, so any combination is possible. It has a nice vibrato which works like a Fender Mustang one.I find the body puzzling. It is the exact size and shape as all Airlines but being mahogany I wonder if someone made it. If they did they certainly were good. It has a lovely patina from where it has been played over the last 50 plus years. I would be willing to sell that too. I love the fact that Rosetti/Egmonds can be rare, even exotic, yet you can get a 60 year old one for less than an Epiphone.
Please could youhel me to identify my Egmond guitar 12 string,
serial number 32020131, with an opening for an amplifier and two buttons on the guitar
thanks a lot

I have an Egmond 6 string, kind of a sun burst finish, small folk acoustic type guitar. The label inside states: "Egmond, made in Holland. The signature on this label guarantees that this instrument is a genuine Egmond guitar which passed minute final inspection. Egmond Brothers LTD., Holland, Factory of musical instruments." The numbers stamped on the back of the peg head are 27951111. I’ve been researching this guitar for s while now and the closest I can come is that this was the same make and model as George Harrison’s first guitar. I need to dig deeper into those numbers stamped on the back of the neck and I’m not sure where to go from here. I know it is very old because it was given to my wife by her grandfather when their family migrated from Germany last century. Any help on this guitar or any tips on where to find those serial numbers (which lead to the year, make, and model – I think) would be of great help. Thanks.

I have one egmond acoustic guitar black, in the hole have a label it says the same; "Egmond made in Holland Egmond Brothers" but I’m not sure why I dont find a serial number on the neck, may is repainted or something like that. this guitar sounds really good
Sorry, made an arse of my last post. I had an Egmond acoustic in the late 60s. This was when they were made. It was a single cut away body rather like the les paul. If I remember coeectly it cost me £6:00 Sterling. I din’t know if your is worth more than you paid or not but I wish I had kept every guitar I owned, I am now 52 and one or two of them are now collectors pieces. Don’t get rid of them, keep them stored in a case and play and clean them occasionally. In years to come they will be worth something.

Has it Egmond bass 7 by Rosetti labelled on the head? I had one of those when I was 14 and sold it to buy a Vox Symphonic bass. I would be interested in buying it if it is the same and what’s more I would like to get another Vox Symphonic preferably red (salmon red) if anyone has one for sale.
Regards Joe
Love these basses – does it look like an old accoustic with single cutaway and 2L-2R tuner configuration. If so, I would be greatly interested in purchasing the bass. Please email pictures to [email protected]

: Hi…I own a beautiful Egmond 12 STRING acoustic guitar, it is a very deep red to black sunburst with a brown tortoise-shell type pickguard and is in fairly good condition for its age.

Is it worth anything (DOES ANY ONE WANT TO BUY IT OF ME FOR £500 ). Any info would be gratefully appreciated.

I also have this 12 string guitar. its a little taty and has been sitting under my bed for a while. iv recently become skint and had taken it to my local where the barman offered me £100.00 strait off the bat. should i except? it plays loverly aswell!!
i too own a egmond 12 string.it was made in 1964 and plays fantastic. the neck is a jazz type size joining the body of guitar at the 12th fret.its in a natural finish with black headstock.ive never seen another as the last egmond guitars were made 1972.some electric egmonds were cheap and nasty guitars but this acoustic 12 is the best ive ever played…..
egmond guitars were made in holland in a town called best until 72. unlike most guitars there seems to be no record of serial manufacture dates etc…they became very popular in the mid 60s and were mccartney/harrisons first guitars in the beatles.cheap and affordable 1000s flooded the guitar market in uk but very few survive.v hard to value but rarity alone is important factor… if you got one hang on too it.

I bought an Egmond Acoustic guitar from a car boot in Tiverton Devon for £1, last sunday. Candy sunburst to black, f holes and fingerpick plate. In good condition but unloved. A litle TLC and she is reponding well, a really ggod tone. I still need to adjust the truss brace to refine the action.

Hi…I own a beautiful Egmond acoustic guitar, it is a very deep red to black sunburst with a brown tortoise-shell type pickguard and is in fairly good condition for its age. I picked it up a few years ago in a junk shop for ir£6 (about 10 euro) . The neck was severly twisted due to neglect and the fact it was lying underneath a speaker cab for a long time. Over the last few years i have managed to carefully straighten it out again using steam and judicious tightening of the truss rod and now have an absolutely beautiful guitar to play . It is much heavier and more solid than a modern acoustic and this really does show through in the quality of tone-perfect for blues and slide playing . I would be very interested in more info about this guitar, i.e. when was it made ? Is it worth anything (not that i’d ever sell ) etc etc. Any info would be gratefully appreciated.
Is this thread still alive? I have a 12 string egmond. Tatty but very playable. Dark/sunburst etc, same as above posts. Did anybody find out how to trace the serial numbers?
I’m probably going to buy one from a local shop here in Holland, and according to the website of Egmond,
you can find out what period the guitar is from looking at the head and the sticker inside. If it has an iron or plastic logo on the headstock, held in place with 2 tiny screws, it’s late 50s, early 60s.
And I guess you guys convinced me in buying one by telling about a lovely tone and great playability!
Hi there, i have an Egmond 12 string acoustic with a seriel number on the back. Ive had it for ten years. from my knowledge it was made in 1964, as ive done research on the model etc. Can anyone tell me how much it would be worth? its in good condition, but just needs new strings?
Hi, i have a very unusual egmond freres 12 string accoustic which im about to restore, this model has a tailpeice and adjustable bridge! which are unfortunately missing when i bought it, the other thing i noticed is the neck is easy to remove and relace, theres even an adjustment for neck angle. if anyone out there can help with the missing tail peice or any info what so ever id be very gratefull, as for the age of it im clueless but judgeing by the frosted cracks in the laquer possibly an early one, i have my work cut out here and cant wait to hear this thing play one day. i have never seen a 12 string with tailpeice before , have you?

Hi I know something but I hope you didn’t pay to much for it because w in holland use to say you can buy almost any guitar as long its not an egmond I’m sorry
I got one a 3 pu but a friend of mine who plays in a grunge band has smached it to pieces
So that one good option. or for decoration because they look cool
I just bought an Egmond hollowbody from I believe around 1967. I took it to a local repairman for service, and he found that the neck was held on by a single bolt and spring! Does anyone know anything about this neck joint design? He removed the spring and shimmed the neck, and now it plays horribly.
I have renewed my opinion about egmonds in fact egmond is a guitarbrand that was formed in holland in I believe 1935 and they kept on producinging guitars in their factory in Best near eindhoven until the 70’s. The company was taken over by Martin. At their highst production level they were producing as many as a several thousand guitars a week, they were sold al across the globe. And were the cheapest guitars around.The guitars are in the european market at a price between the 50 and the 150 euro’s that almost the same as dollars. Please send me pictures of the guitar for my archive and maybe I can tell you what is the type of guitar you have
I recently bought an acustic guitar, would like to know a little more about it, it has numbers on the neck.. I was thinking maybe this was students guitar ????
I found mine in a dungheap, cracked top, no strings, mechanism rusted. It has a glued-in oval, golden label with green print. On the top of the rim the label says: Manufacturies des Instrumentes a Cordes. On the bottom it says: Guitares-Banjo’s-Mandolines etc. In the center it says: Egmond Freres. On the inside, on the back near the neck is stamped in black: Made in Holland.
I put new mechanism on, re-strung it and the hell with the crack and it plays just fine.
Age: No idea. Value: it looks very cheap, and I had it for nothing.

My father was Principal of a college in Uganda. After independence in 1963 we returned to UK. The students spent many happy hours playing the instruments in our house and they bought my father an Egmond Freres guitar. All students signed it. I think it was made in Holland. It carries many powerful memories of my childhood and I have it with me, hoping to restore it for my parents who are now in their 90’s having outlived most of their students in Uganda.
I have a Egmond freres guitar, made in Holland and it has the name Stadium on the end of the neck. My father bought this guitar in the mid 1990’s and I would like some info on it.

I own a few Egmond/Rosettisand wondered if there were any collectors of them out there. I have a sunburst parlour sized model that is identical to George Harrisons(and Brian Mays). It’s in great condition with its movable plastic bridge. It doesn’t sound brilliant. My first guitar was a white Lucky 7 from the late 50’s. You can age them by how many dots it has on the fretboard to within a few years and also if it has a truss rod. I bought a Lucky 7 exactly the same as my first guitar. It had been stored under a bed with 2 strings on it in its awful yellow soft case since the 60’s when the person gave up trying to learn. The curse of them is the neck bowing(and a lot have been turned into slide guitars) but this is absolutely straight. The necks come off and you can adjust the angle. I put a shim (little piece of wood) under it and it has a lovely action. The plastic adjustable and movable bridge looks like new. The original pearloid scratchplate was warped but I solved that pouring boiling water over it and placing it on a flat surface. The only thing that makes it not brand new looking is some paint flaking on the back of the neck from me playing it. I would sell it is someone were interested. My rarest is a Rosetti Airline 3. They are rare anyway but mine has a solid mahogany body(which I ,nor anyone has ever seen. It has Fender tuners fitted(the first 60’s Fender tuners with the F logo on, they are U shaped). It has a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. It has a white pearloid scratchplate and a moveable metal bridge(this is usually not present). It has 3 humbucker sized single coil pick ups( they sound very like Kurt Cobains Univox pick ups) with a switch for each, so any combination is possible. It has a nice vibrato which works like a Fender Mustang one.I find the body puzzling. It is the exact size and shape as all Airlines but being mahogany I wonder if someone made it. If they did they certainly were good. It has a lovely patina from where it has been played over the last 50 plus years. I would be willing to sell that too. I love the fact that Rosetti/Egmonds can be rare, even exotic, yet you can get a 60 year old one for less than an Epiphone.
Please could youhel me to identify my Egmond guitar 12 string,
serial number 32020131, with an opening for an amplifier and two buttons on the guitar
thanks a lot

I got one to that was passed down to me by my grandfather. I am trying to find more info about it.
hi i have an egmond my friend is give me that just want to know about this guitar any body can help pls. thanks
the number stamped on back 74170065
couldu u tell me about it more value and year if is possible
I have an Egmond 6 string, kind of a sun burst finish, small folk acoustic type guitar. The label inside states: "Egmond, made in Holland. The signature on this label guarantees that this instrument is a genuine Egmond guitar which passed minute final inspection. Egmond Brothers LTD., Holland, Factory of musical instruments." The numbers stamped on the back of the peg head are 27951111. I’ve been researching this guitar for s while now and the closest I can come is that this was the same make and model as George Harrison’s first guitar. I need to dig deeper into those numbers stamped on the back of the neck and I’m not sure where to go from here. I know it is very old because it was given to my wife by her grandfather when their family migrated from Germany last century. Any help on this guitar or any tips on where to find those serial numbers (which lead to the year, make, and model – I think) would be of great help. Thanks.

I have one egmond acoustic guitar black, in the hole have a label it says the same; "Egmond made in Holland Egmond Brothers" but I’m not sure why I dont find a serial number on the neck, may is repainted or something like that. this guitar sounds really good
I have an egmond guitar with same label inside would like to know if this is of any value
Sorry, made an arse of my last post. I had an Egmond acoustic in the late 60s. This was when they were made. It was a single cut away body rather like the les paul. If I remember coeectly it cost me £6:00 Sterling. I din’t know if your is worth more than you paid or not but I wish I had kept every guitar I owned, I am now 52 and one or two of them are now collectors pieces. Don’t get rid of them, keep them stored in a case and play and clean them occasionally. In years to come they will be worth something.

Has it Egmond bass 7 by Rosetti labelled on the head? I had one of those when I was 14 and sold it to buy a Vox Symphonic bass. I would be interested in buying it if it is the same and what’s more I would like to get another Vox Symphonic preferably red (salmon red) if anyone has one for sale.
Regards Joe
Love these basses – does it look like an old accoustic with single cutaway and 2L-2R tuner configuration. If so, I would be greatly interested in purchasing the bass. Please email pictures to [email protected]

: Hi…I own a beautiful Egmond 12 STRING acoustic guitar, it is a very deep red to black sunburst with a brown tortoise-shell type pickguard and is in fairly good condition for its age.

Is it worth anything (DOES ANY ONE WANT TO BUY IT OF ME FOR £500 ). Any info would be gratefully appreciated.

I also have this 12 string guitar. its a little taty and has been sitting under my bed for a while. iv recently become skint and had taken it to my local where the barman offered me £100.00 strait off the bat. should i except? it plays loverly aswell!!
i too own a egmond 12 string.it was made in 1964 and plays fantastic. the neck is a jazz type size joining the body of guitar at the 12th fret.its in a natural finish with black headstock.ive never seen another as the last egmond guitars were made 1972.some electric egmonds were cheap and nasty guitars but this acoustic 12 is the best ive ever played…..
egmond guitars were made in holland in a town called best until 72. unlike most guitars there seems to be no record of serial manufacture dates etc…they became very popular in the mid 60s and were mccartney/harrisons first guitars in the beatles.cheap and affordable 1000s flooded the guitar market in uk but very few survive.v hard to value but rarity alone is important factor… if you got one hang on too it.

I bought an Egmond Acoustic guitar from a car boot in Tiverton Devon for £1, last sunday. Candy sunburst to black, f holes and fingerpick plate. In good condition but unloved. A litle TLC and she is reponding well, a really ggod tone. I still need to adjust the truss brace to refine the action.
Hi There,
I have an origal Egmond 12 string that has a serial number. And would like more info on it. Can you assist me with that.
Thanks

Hi…I own a beautiful Egmond acoustic guitar, it is a very deep red to black sunburst with a brown tortoise-shell type pickguard and is in fairly good condition for its age. I picked it up a few years ago in a junk shop for ir£6 (about 10 euro) . The neck was severly twisted due to neglect and the fact it was lying underneath a speaker cab for a long time. Over the last few years i have managed to carefully straighten it out again using steam and judicious tightening of the truss rod and now have an absolutely beautiful guitar to play . It is much heavier and more solid than a modern acoustic and this really does show through in the quality of tone-perfect for blues and slide playing . I would be very interested in more info about this guitar, i.e. when was it made ? Is it worth anything (not that i’d ever sell ) etc etc. Any info would be gratefully appreciated.
Is this thread still alive? I have a 12 string egmond. Tatty but very playable. Dark/sunburst etc, same as above posts. Did anybody find out how to trace the serial numbers?
Hello Heather . I know is ten years after but i would like to know if you still have the Egmond 12 string . Im in the western Cape
Hello,
I’m probably going to buy one from a local shop here in Holland, and according to the website of Egmond,
you can find out what period the guitar is from looking at the head and the sticker inside. If it has an iron or plastic logo on the headstock, held in place with 2 tiny screws, it’s late 50s, early 60s.
And I guess you guys convinced me in buying one by telling about a lovely tone and great playability!
Thanks,
Lars
Hi there, i have an Egmond 12 string acoustic with a seriel number on the back. Ive had it for ten years. from my knowledge it was made in 1964, as ive done research on the model etc. Can anyone tell me how much it would be worth? its in good condition, but just needs new strings?
Hi, i have a very unusual egmond freres 12 string accoustic which im about to restore, this model has a tailpeice and adjustable bridge! which are unfortunately missing when i bought it, the other thing i noticed is the neck is easy to remove and relace, theres even an adjustment for neck angle. if anyone out there can help with the missing tail peice or any info what so ever id be very gratefull, as for the age of it im clueless but judgeing by the frosted cracks in the laquer possibly an early one, i have my work cut out here and cant wait to hear this thing play one day. i have never seen a 12 string with tailpeice before , have you?

I just bought an Egmond hollowbody from I believe around 1967. I took it to a local repairman for service, and he found that the neck was held on by a single bolt and spring! Does anyone know anything about this neck joint design? He removed the spring and shimmed the neck, and now it plays horribly.
I have renewed my opinion about egmonds in fact egmond is a guitarbrand that was formed in holland in I believe 1935 and they kept on producinging guitars in their factory in Best near eindhoven until the 70’s. The company was taken over by Martin. At their highst production level they were producing as many as a several thousand guitars a week, they were sold al across the globe. And were the cheapest guitars around.The guitars are in the european market at a price between the 50 and the 150 euro’s that almost the same as dollars. Please send me pictures of the guitar for my archive and maybe I can tell you what is the type of guitar you have
I recently bought an acustic guitar, would like to know a little more about it, it has numbers on the neck.. I was thinking maybe this was students guitar ????
This popular thread has been given its own page : about a Egmond Freres guitar
I found mine in a dungheap, cracked top, no strings, mechanism rusted. It has a glued-in oval, golden label with green print. On the top of the rim the label says: Manufacturies des Instrumentes a Cordes. On the bottom it says: Guitares-Banjo’s-Mandolines etc. In the center it says: Egmond Freres. On the inside, on the back near the neck is stamped in black: Made in Holland.
I put new mechanism on, re-strung it and the hell with the crack and it plays just fine.
Age: No idea. Value: it looks very cheap, and I had it for nothing.

My father was Principal of a college in Uganda. After independence in 1963 we returned to UK. The students spent many happy hours playing the instruments in our house and they bought my father an Egmond Freres guitar. All students signed it. I think it was made in Holland. It carries many powerful memories of my childhood and I have it with me, hoping to restore it for my parents who are now in their 90’s having outlived most of their students in Uganda.
I have a Egmond freres guitar, made in Holland and it has the name Stadium on the end of the neck. My father bought this guitar in the mid 1990’s and I would like some info on it.
