This is the third guitar that I finished. A gentleman I know purchased it as an anniversary gift for his wife. I inlayed her name on the 12th fret.

The details are as follows:

Model- OM
Back & Sides - Black Limba
Soundboard - Engelmann Spruce
Neck - Genuine Mahogany
Bracing Material - Adirondack Spruce
Binding - Black Walnut
Fingerboard & Bridge - Katalox
Pickguard - Black Walnut
Head plate Veneers - Black Walnut
Nut & Saddle - Bone
Finish - EM6000 Water Based Lacquer

I really like this guitar. It sounds so wonderful. Very loud and clear and has lots of warmth. Was kind of hard to let it go, but the payment was nice.

I like the way that all came together. The back is lovely!

That's a good looking guitar. The walnut pickguard to go with the walnut headstock veneers and binding is a nice touch. That's some nice curl in the back plates.

Thanks guys!

The Black Limba was from one of the sponsors, Aaron Hix, and was a great transaction as usual.

I would love to know how many hours I have spent surveying his eBay store.. :shock:
