OM Spruce-Ovankol with sound

Post by Herman » Sun Jun 27, 2021 7:16 am

This was built between two projects. I did not expect much of it, because the materials were not expensive and left-overs. The outcome is extrordinary IMO. Bass/mids/trebles/sustain and ring. This one has it all.
Now I have to find a buyer, but my guess it won't be long.

Specs:
Top - German Moonspruce 2012,
Bracing - Lowden Dolphin style
B/S - Flamed Ovankol
Neck - Genuine Mahogany
Nut Width - 46mm
Fingerboard - Madagascar Rosewood
Tuners - Gotoh SG381
Binding - East Indian Rosewood
Finish - Nitro

Here some sounds

Here you find more details and pics

Great looking left over guitar! Your good wood must be really good if the top is an example of your leftover wood. Sounds wonderful.

The top was the most expensive part of the guitar. Did cost 45 euro including shipping.
The Ovankol is one of three sets cut from 2 blocks, and this set cost me about 20 euro.
So yes, considering the cost of my other guitars, this is a cheapo.

Much obliged for your words, my friends.
It is very intriguing how every guitar sounds and feels different to the player. (the audience in the room cannot hear/feel it, and does not care.....And that is a comforting idea)
