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

Re: OM Spruce-Ovankol with sound
Great looking left over guitar! Your good wood must be really good if the top is an example of your leftover wood. Sounds wonderful.
Re: OM Spruce-Ovankol with sound
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)
