Ohio electric guitars and basses were made in France by Jacobacci from the 1950s until around 1966. The Jacobacci Ohio models were typically solid bodied whereas the Texas models were hollow-bodied. Some famous French rock and roll bands (like Johnny Hallyday, the Pirates and the Vatours) played the Ohio models, increasing the desirability of Jacobacci guitars with the French public.
