The "Concert" model, featuring the larger standard "Maccaferri" body design with a flat, fan-braced top, was offered with a larger D-shaped soundhole, a glued-on bridge for tied gut strings and an optional cutaway.

The "Jazz" model, designed for steel strings, came with a tailpiece, a floating bridge centered between two "moustaches," and a standard cutaway. The 12-fret model with a D-shaped soundhole was redesigned in 1934 with 14 frets clear of the body and a smaller oval soundhole.

The "Hawaïenne" model was a steel-string made for lap-style playing, essentially a non-cutaway version of the "Jazz" model except for a thicker, wider neck, a raised nut and an optional seventh string.

Finally, the "Orchestre" model, a less precisely defined steel-string offered with either a round or D-shaped soundhole, full body or cutaway, four or six strings. Selmer sold many custom variations through its dealers and the "Orchestre" designation encompassed them all.

Selmer's four-string guitars, made mostly for its London dealer, were built on either a small body or on the standard cutaway "Jazz" body. The little ones were "ténor" guitars, with shorter scales intended for tuning in fifths like a tenor banjo, while the larger ones known either as modèle "Orchestre" or, in one variation, the "guitare Eddie Freeman," in honor of an active jazz guitarist living in England. The Freemans were intended to be tuned in Freeman's own unusual reëntrant tuning. Selmer also produced a few large-body plectrum guitars with a more conventional long neck, intended for the more customary plectrum tuning.
