Unique OO with Plum Back and Sides and European Spruce Top Built in 2024 - $3500
In addition to great beauty, this guitar has power - it's great for strumming, flatpicking or finger picking, and has a rich, full sound, very strong bottom tones, and beautiful decoration. The back and sides are plum, which is rarely available in large enough size to make a guitar.
The neck on this guitar is slender, especially at the first few frets. Perfect for someone who likes a thin neck but probably not for you if you prefer a fat neck. See additional pictures below.
