Rosetti

Rosetti is a UK musical instrument distributor founded by Arthur Rosetti in the 1920s. In the 1950s and 1960s Rosetti distributed guitars made by Egmond - some were branded "by Rosetti" - like the Lucky Strike, Lucky Seven and Luck Star models. Many future UK rock stars started out on these budget Rosetti models. Rosetti was also a main UK distributor for other manufacturers during this period including Epiphone and Fenton-Weill. In the late 1970s Thorn-EMI bought Rosetti and they became the UK distributor for Gibson at least until 1986.
